Prince William dons VERY white trainers at NFL occasion in London
Prince William was spotted wearing a very bright pair of trainers with his suit as he visited the NFL Foundation in London on Tuesday.
The Prince of Wales, 42, was attending a community NFL Flag event by the organisation, which focuses on tackling challenges faced by young people in some of the most deprived areas of the UK.
Not a mark was to be seen on William’s shoes, which appeared in a pristine condition.
William appeared in good spirits as he shook hands with representatives from NFL UK and heard about how it is working to help young people develop their confidence and reach their potential in sport.
He was then seen showing off his own football skills, throwing the ball to members of the NFL Foundation – showing his sporty shoe choice had come in handy.

The prince appeared thoroughly immersed in the game of flag football, which is the non-contact version of American football, pointing around him and gesturing.
And he appeared to be taking styling tips from his wife, Kate, also known for her love of the simple white shoe.
On this occasion, William was making a solo outing without the Princess of Wales, who has been making a slow but steady return to engagements following her preventative chemotherapy treatment.
Later on, William met with Welsh athlete and NFL player Louis Rees-Zammit and GB Women’s Flag football captain Phoebe Schecter.
The heir to the throne posed with Zammit, 23, holding a special NFL shirt reading ‘HRH 24’, before taking a group photograph with the participants.

Flag football is a rapidly growing sport in the UK and will be played in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
It comes after William revealed he took ‘inspiration’ and ‘guidance’ from his mother Princess Diana in his work to end homelessness, where he is also seen giving out hugs while visiting a homeless charity.
Speaking in a new preview for his upcoming ITV documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, the Prince of Wales showed the behind the scenes journey of his campaign Homewards.
The exclusive ITV documentary charts the first year of his campaign to end homelessness.
The future king has set his sights on making rough sleeping, sofa surfing and temporary accommodation a thing of the past in his ambitious five-year initiative programme called Homewards.
William, 42, says in the new clip: ‘I’ve slowly tried to work out what I can bring to the role and platform that I have.

‘I have taken some inspiration and guidance from what my mother did, particularly with homelessness.’
In the short clip, posted to Instagram, William is seen speaking to former English footballer Farah Williams, who was herself once homeless – and others working with Homewards.
‘I don’t believe we should be living with homelessness in the 21st century,’ William adds.
The Prince of Wales described it as a ‘unique opportunity’ to create lasting change, as he builds on the legacy of his late mother Princess Diana.
The two-part series, which has the working title Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, will follow William as he launches Homewards across the country.
It will involve stories from those who are currently experiencing homelessness or have previously been homeless.
