Prince William proves a smash hit on the badminton court

The Duke of Cambridge visits a community sports project hosted at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium, showing he knows a thing or two about shuttlecocks as he gets stuck in to a couple of points of badminton.

He talks to people at the event who tell him just how valuable the opportunity to get out of the house is and professes he doesn't want to "put too much pressure" on everyone by watching them.
