Prince William breaks royal protocol when he meets his namesake in Kenya

Prince William, meet Prince William!

The Duke of Cambridge visited Kenya this weekend as part of his tour of Africa, Sunday, after already visiting Namibia and Tanzania, he spent time with the British Army Training Unit in Kenya before meeting a local football team. Kinamba.

The father of three had a special surprise by handing out Aston Villa FC jerseys to the team, being kissed by a player who bears his name.

"William meets Prince William – The Duke of Cambridge met his namesake in Kinamba, before presenting him with an official @AVF #PartOfThePride t-shirt," tweeted Kensington Palace.

The moment was a break in protocol for Prince William, 36, because members of the public are only supposed to shake hands with the royal family.

William must return to England after his appearances in Kenya, which will certainly be a welcome relief for his wife, Kate Middleton, who has remained to care for the couple's three children.

In an address to Namibia last week, William said of the Duchess of Cambridge: "I am delighted to visit Namibia for the first time. I'm only sorry that my wife, Catherine, can not join me. She is immensely jealous, especially because I look forward to some good nights of uninterrupted sleep this week, away from my wonderful children. "

Middleton makes her first solo appearance this week since she gave birth to Prince Louis in April. For more of the royal family, watch the clip below:
