Britain’s Prince William: George will soon run faster than me

Britain’s Prince William has joked that his son will soon be able to run faster than him.

The 32-year-old royal joined in with a school’s sports day while visiting Coventry in the West Midlands of England yesterday (07.16.14) and joked that although his and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge’s 12-month-old son has only just learned how to walk, he could soon be a speedier runner than him.

After taking part in a 30-meter dash, he told head teacher Gill Naylor:  »I think George will be running faster than me very soon. »

The Duke of Cambridge – who was visiting the city to launch a World War One parks scheme on behalf of the charity Fields in Trust – also engaged in banter with the race-winner claiming his snazzy trainers had given him an advantage.

People magazine reported him as saying:  »Love the shoes, seriously fast! »

He also posed for photographs with schoolchildren and attempted to ensure they all plastered their cheesiest grins on their faces by teasing, ‘Look excited, be happy! »

Naylor said of the future king:  »He was lovely with the children, really friendly and charming. »
