William took part in a fun spin-off of the viral ‘Football Legends – Head 2 Head’ game, facing some tough decisions.
When asked by The Sun who he would choose in a shoot-out between Zinedine Zidane and Beckham, the prince visibly grimaced.
He then joked that his friend might “kill him” if he was not selected it.
Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham were teammates at Real Madrid from 2003-2006.
