Harry was put through his paces, kicking a soccer ball in addition to throwing/catching a tennis ball and netball. "That's quite hard work," Harry said after he was told he was only halfway through the exercise. "I'm dizzy already." Photo: Matt Dunham PA Wire/Press Association Images

The royal teased Britain's most decorated gymnast, Max, as he waited to take a photo with the athlete and other sports stars. Prince George's uncle shouted, "When you're ready, Max. You don't win golds on timing obviously." Photo: Twitter/@KensingtonRoyal

Harry delivered remarks at the engagement saying, "I can’t believe that it was just four years ago that my brother, Catherine and I launched Coach Core." The Prince continued, "It is providing world class sports and training opportunities that previously did not exist in sports coaching." Photo: Twitter/@kensingtonroyal

In his speech the royal noted, "The young people here today have a real chance of moving on into employment or training and in turn will inspire thousands of other young people to take part in sport – extending the positive reach of this program." Photo: Twitter/@kensingtonroyal

Four years since its launch, the Coach Core program is now extending into ten cities across the UK after successful pilots in London and Glasgow.Photo: Matt Dunham PA Wire/Press Association Images
