Harry, who's patron of the Rugby Football League, spoke to legendary former player Ellery Hanley; St Helens Women’s Super League players Gemma Walsh and Emily Rudge (the latter also the captain of England Women); Newcastle Thunder's Jordan Robinson and upcoming player Alex Donaghy; Leeds Rhinos and England player Jamie Jones-Buchanan and his son Kurgan; and rugby volunteer and organizer Fionna Everson.
The royal revealed he'd like to get Archie playing rugby. "What I need is a few mini rugby balls that I can then get Archie involved with the game, because at the moment it's impossible to find any," he said. "But I've got a little space outside, which I'm fortunate enough to have so I need to get him playing some Rugby League."
"I'm just unbelievably fortunate and grateful to have outdoor space and see my son be able to be outside, because I know so many people just haven't had that opportunity in the last five months," Harry added. "Our little man is our number one priority but our work after that is the second priority and we’re just trying to do everything we can to do our part to make the world a better place."
