Prince George says mom Kate Middleton is terrible at soccer

This week, Prince William and Kate Middleton took a quick trip to Belfast as part of their official two-day royal visit to Northern Ireland. On Wednesday, they spent the morning meeting with locals (Kate looked stunning per usual) and met with Pat Jennings, a famous Irish footballer at the Windsor Park Football Stadium.

While they were there, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge threw on their best sneakers and hit the field to play a game of football (aka soccer) with children from the Irish Football Association of Northern Ireland's Shooting Stars program. The program aims to encourages girls to participate in the sport.

Before joining in the game however, Kate revealed she wasn't so skilled in football. According to The Telegraph, she told the children that Prince George is learning to play and when practicing, he tells her, "Mummy, you're so rubbish."

Then when standing on the sidelines, she reportedly said, "I should have picked up some tips from George."

The duke, who had already joined in a game, shouted at her, "Come on, superstar," and warned the kids to "look out, she goes for the ankles."

"I could happily stay here playing football all day," Prince William said later on.

So it looks like Kate is going to have to work on her football skills to keep up with her family, or perhaps she could try doing ballet with her children instead.
