Relaxed and joyful royals look as if they’ve finally put Charles and Kate’s cancer troubles behind them

THE royal art of playing the part to perfection was never better illustrated than at yesterday’s Trooping the Colour.

The slimmed-down monarchy on the palace balcony were brimming with cheer, colour and vibrancy.

They all looked relaxed and joyful — as if they had at last put all the troubles of the King and Catherine’s cancer diagnoses behind them.

It would have been hard not to feel emotional at the minute’s silence to honour the victims of the tragic Air India flight bound for Gatwick.

The Princess Royal, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales sat stationary on their powerful steeds.

Princess Charlotte, a keen rider herself, will have been looking hard at the magnificent number of horses.

For once, Queen Camilla didn’t have her usual big smile.

The wind was giving her trouble holding on to her hat, but she still managed to look the picture of elegance.

As head of the Armed Forces, it was an emotional day for the King.

But it’s something he always enjoys, especially when everyone looks so happy and proud to be there.

Prince Louis had the last laugh as he gave a mischievous wave to the crowd. A cheeky end to a cheerful day.

Little-known 1-point rule that’s never happened in NFL history – but has in college football

THERE are too many rules to count in the NFL, making it easy for some to slip under the radar.

However, some are so obscure that they’ve never been seen during a game.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - JANUARY 18: Referee Clay Martin #19 looks on during the first half of the AFC Divisional playoff game between the Houston Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 18, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri.

The one-point safety has never happened in an NFL game[/caption]

Among those rules is the elusive one-point play.

Yes, it is technically possible for a team to score one point on a play.

You may be thinking that’s nothing new, as teams get one point on the extra point after touchdowns.

This is an entirely different situation though. It is possible for a team to score just one point in the entire game.

It all stems from a team trying an extra point after a touchdown.

For example, let’s say the Kansas City Chiefs scored a touchdown to make it 6-0 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

They line up for the extra point, but the kick is blocked by the Steelers who run it all the way down the field.

However, the Steelers player fumbles the ball right before the end zone and the Chiefs recover it in the field of play.

Then, the Chiefs player backtracks into the end zone and is tackled for a one-point safety.

If all of that went perfectly right, the score of the game would be 6-1.

Now, it makes sense why this hasn’t happened before, as the stars would have to align on so many different factors on a single play.

While it hasn’t happened in the NFL, the one point safety has actually occurred multiple times in college football.

The most notable of these was in 2013 during the Fiesta Bowl.

Oregon had an extra point attempt blocked, Kansas State ran the ball back and the fumbled it before an Oregon player was tackled in the end zone.

It also happened in 2004 between Texas and Texas A&M.

It’s a super cool rule that many fans don’t know about, but also don’t think will ever happen.

“Just say this is not happening and move on to other more important matters,” one fan said.

“I’m placing this bet in every game from now on. Payout has to be massive lol,” another fan said.

“6-1 final score,” a third fan said.
