I really don’t know which is weirder — Camilla’s tenacious sudoku addiction or Charles asking children what NBA stars eat<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Prince Charles came to Harlem to shoot hoops yesterday, netting baskets while his wife sat down with her favorite game — Sudoku.<\/p>\n

The royal couple showed their physical and mental prowess while touring the Harlem Children’s Zone, a kids’ project designed to help inner-city youngsters reach their potential.<\/p>\n

While watching teams in the Zone’s basketball league, the prince was persuaded to try his hand — and got his second shot through the rim.<\/p>\n

“It was perfect,” said Christopher Valazquez, 13, who congratulated the prince on his shot. “I would pick him for my team.<\/p>\n

“He said he’d never played before. He asked, ‘Is it on TV?’ like he didn’t know about it. He asked how tall are NBA players, and what do they eat?<\/p>\n

“That surprised me. I told him everybody plays it here. Everybody.”<\/p>\n

Just before watching her husband’s basketball skills, his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, helped with a Sudoku puzzle while meeting kids preparing for a math competition.<\/p>\n
