Prince William jokes ’we could be here a while’ as he plays pool

The Prince of Wales played pool and shot basketball hoops with children as he visited a new £12 million youth club opening in west London. Picking up the pool cue, William joked “We could be here a while“ as he tried to pocket a yellow ball. He then tried his hand at basketball, missing his first four shots before sinking a bucket on his fifth attempt. The youth centre in Shepherd’s Bush, which officially opens in April, provides a wealth of facilities for eight to 18-year-olds. It is named “West“, which stands for “Where Everyone Sticks Together“.
