Flag football, the non-contact version of American football, has seen rapid growth in the UK.

The sport is set to debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, further increasing its profile.

During the event, William participated in NFL Flag activities alongside young people from across the UK.

He was joined by NFL players currently in London for matches, including Louis Rees-Zammit, a Welsh athlete playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Phoebe Schecter, captain of the GB Women’s Flag Football Team.

Arthur Matthews, the birthday boy, is the eldest child of Pippa Matthews and her hedge fund manager husband James Matthews.

The couple, who reside on a sprawling estate in the Berkshire countryside, are also parents to Grace, three, and two-year-old Rose.

The Middleton have chosen to live in close proximity to one another.

Pippa’s home is near her parents Carole and Michael Middleton’s residence, as well as her brother James Middleton and his wife Alizee Thevenet’s home.

Meanwhile, Prince William, Kate, and their three children reside at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, a short drive away from the Middleton family homes.
