The interaction occurred during William's visit to the Tiber centre to meet members of the Tiber Young People's Steering Group where he described the group as "fantastic".
The project, comprised of 14-18-year-olds, aims to ensure that local community members are provided with opportunities that bring positive change in their lives and within their local environment.
The group led the design of a new complex, which is now nearing completion, by raising funds through the Youth Investment Fund.
The community centre will have a function suite, outdoor event space, education rooms, a café, and changing rooms for the on-site football pitch.

Prince William was given a tour of the facility upon arrival and met with several young people working for the group, which has helped more than 200 people since its creation in 2005.
Before his engagements today, William was last sighted in Monaco attending an away fixture for his beloved Aston Villa.
The game marked Villa's penultimate league phase game in the UEFA Champions League, in which the Birmingham-based side lost 1-0.
It is the only time Prince William has publicly left the UK in 2025.
