Prince George may only be 11 years old but he already has a long list of sporting talents – from tennis and football to scuba diving. As well as this, it recently emerged that the young royal has one secret hack to stay speedy during triathlons, according to his proud parents.
According to Stanford, the young royal has been putting talcum powder in his shoes whilst competing in school triathlons – a hack often used to help with transitions, and prevent blisters and chafing.
“He [Prince William] was telling me how George has been doing triathlon at school,” Stanford said. “There is also a gentleman who now works for William, who has done a bit of triathlon and has been giving George advice about putting talcum powder in his shoes. George has been sharing his talc with his classmates, and they are all excited about these tips.”
George has also taken up rugby, and recently progressed from playing tag rugby to touch rugby as he’s now being taught how to tackle, according to Hello!
“They are trying to teach him the rules,” Kate said at the Wales vs England Six Nations rugby match in Cardiff last year. “They move them around for their confidence. Because he is tall, he has the physique.”
