Prince William

Prince William is always in his element when it comes to sports. If you recall, the royal was full of energy when he played rugby in South Africa last year, and when he attended the UEFA Champions League to support Aston Villa, he couldn't contain his enthusiasm. Once again, the prince is ditching his usual polished composure to showcase his soccer skills, and his body language says it all.

This week, Prince William made a surprise visit to Scotland and stopped by the Leith Community Centre to mark the launch of Leith United, a new social enterprise that unites Street Soccer Scotland, YMCA Edinburgh and Leith Community Centre to "deliver health, wellbeing and social connection for thousands of residents," per his official Instagram account.

The prince, who also goes by the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, shared a few highlights from the visit, and from a non-verbal perspective, he comes across as extremely confident, sporting genuine smiles and laughing often.
