The Prince of Wales has said awarding a knighthood to rugby league star Sir Kevin Sinfield "was probably the easiest decision anyone's ever had to make".

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Prince William spoke about his personal admiration for Sir Kevin, who recently completed seven ultra marathons in seven days.

It was his latest endurance challenge to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) charities following the death of his friend and former team-mate, Rob Burrow, from the condition in 2024.
