Right royal knees-up with Carlton Cole

Our Carlton Cole is right up there with royalty. My pal @matthewgeorgewh tweets that the West Ham website tells how Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts met “distant relative” the Duchess of Sussex at the London Stadium baseball game against the New York Yankees. The website continues: "It was the second high-profile meeting for Betts during his visit to east London, as the prolific hitter was presented with a West Ham home shirt by former Hammer Carlton Cole at Friday’s workout day.” Must have been a bit of an anti-climax for Betts after meeting a legend like Carlton to then have to do small talk with a minor royal.
