The Duke had a face-off with the Federal Defence Minister along with Boris Pistorius, Angelo Anderson, and Jens Niemeyer. And apparently managed to score none in the absence of a goalkeeper! The Late-Night show featured a traditional and friendly soccer challenge where each guest would try to score a goal on a screen wall with two cut-out holes.
“What happens if we have a zero,” Prince Harry asked. “You have to wear a German Jersey,” a presenter replied.
