On Wednesday morning, King Charles III visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and met with club captain, Heung-min Son – as well as Daniel Levy and Bethany England. It has now been revealed exactly what Son said to the King regarding Tottenham’s current form.
King Charles III’s visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
On Wednesday morning, His Majesty visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he met with club chairman Daniel Levy, men’s team captain Heung-Min Son, and women’s team captain Bethany England.
The visit aimed to showcase the impressive charity work undertaken by both Tottenham Hotspur and the NFL.
Dressed in a tailored navy suit, the King was greeted by Daniel Levy and given a tour of the stadium, during which he met several key figures involved in these charitable initiatives.
What Heung-min Son told the King about Tottenham form
Video footage has surfaced showing King Charles III in conversation with Spurs first-team captain Heung-min Son. The two briefly discussed Tottenham’s current form and their upcoming match against Manchester United this weekend.
Here’s how the conversation unfolded, as relayed by ESPN on X: His Majesty: “So who are you playing this weekend?”
Spurs captain: “We are going to play against United… Manchester United.”
His Majesty: “On Saturday?”
Spurs captain: “On Sunday.”
His Majesty: “Have you got a good chance?”
Spurs captain: “I hope so.”
His Majesty: “Is the team in good order at the moment?”
Spurs captain: “We are in a difficult moment, but we are working hard.”
His Majesty: “Are you?”
Spurs captain: “Yes.”
The visit ended with a ceremonial gift exchange. Heung-min Son and Bethany England presented King Charles with a replica of Tottenham’s original golden cockerel statue, while NFL representatives gifted him an American football from the recent Super Bowl, won by the Philadelphia Eagles.
A must win game for Tottenham Hotspur
The upcoming clash with Manchester United is a crucial one for the Lilywhites, who are desperate to end their recent poor run of form.
Tottenham sit 14th in the Premier League table, having secured just one win in their last five league matches.
Injuries have significantly contributed to this slump, but manager Ange Postecoglou will take heart from the return of seven first-team players to training ahead of Sunday’s game.
