Prince Harry thrashed by German defence minister in penalty shoot out on TV show
England’s penalty shoot out record against Germany has long left much to be desired.
But despite his best efforts, the Duke of Sussex was unable to restore national pride on Saturday when he was unceremoniously thrashed by German defence minister Boris Pistorius.
Prince Harry, 38, followed in the footsteps of Paul Gascoigne and Gareth Southgate by fluffing his strikes at goal during an appearance on German television.
The Duke, who is in Dusseldorf for the Invictus Games, appeared on the long-standing “das aktuelles sportstudio” programme on German broadcaster ZDF.
He was told that if he lost the tongue-in-cheek penalty shoot out he would have to put on a German football jersey.
Harry took a total of six shots but failed to score a single goal.
Handing the ball to Mr Pistorius, he joked: “This one is rubbish.”
Things went from bad to worse when the defence minister managed to score two out of three goals, emerging victorious.
The Duke gamely took defeat in his stride, laughing about his terrible performance.
He joked that Mr Pistorius should be made the new manager of the German national football team, prompting the minister to quip: “I have enough troubles.”
As no German football jersey was to hand, the Duke put on a local German football scarf instead, earning himself a round of applause and a loud cheer.
