Prince Harry has become the butt of jokes after it was revealed he lacked athletic ability. And while it was all part of a show, Meghan Markle’s husband just didn’t rise to the challenge, which is why his performance went viral.
The son of Carlos III. lost a penalty shoot-out against German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius in a broadcast on German public television last Saturday.
The Duke of Sussex, who was in Düsseldorf (West Germany) to open the Invictus Games, a competition for wounded soldiers, took on Pistorius and two athletes in a program broadcast by the ZDF chain on Saturday night.

Harry failed to hit any of his six attempts, while Pistorius, former sports minister for the state of Lower Saxony (North), twice hit a screen that served as a goal on set.
Despite promising to wear a Germany shirt in case of defeat, the Duke eventually settled on a Mainz club scarf when he couldn’t find one.
The program took place after Germany lost 4-1 to Japan.
Harry joked to the minister that he could “manage the national team”, to which the minister replied that he had “enough problems” already.

Pistorius, who was appointed earlier this year, has several burning issues to deal with, including Berlin’s military aid to Ukraine and the project to strengthen the Bundeswehr through a 100 billion euro ($107 billion) fund.
Germany knocked out England on penalties at the 1990 World Cup and Euro 1996.
