Prince William has a secret skill.
The Prince of Wales visited the Olympic Park in London, U.K., on Thursday during a royal engagement and donned a pair of boxing gloves.
Apprentice Gabrielle Reid, 18, gave the royal a few tips, but he revealed he actually knew some things and that a knuckle injury had caused him to stop participating in the sport.
Reid shared, according to Hello!: “I taught him some basics – one-two, jab. He wasn’t bad! He picked it up quickly. Some defences as well – some slips, some rolls.”

Clearly knowing what he was talking about, William then told the teen: “I could never get the hang of how to slip.”
Another attendee said: “He told me he had done a bit before. He had a few skills under his belt.”
They added, “He’s got a little knuckle injury, so he wouldn’t be taking it up any time soon.”
