Prince Harry appeared to endure a rather awkward interaction with a fan during his trip to London this week, with the Duke left red-faced by the run-in.
The Duke of Sussex has been back in his former country of residence this week for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Last night, after a thanksgiving service for the games at St Paul's Cathedral in the city, the father-of-two was on an impromptu walkabout.
Harry conversed with fans and greeted a group of onlookers who all had their phones out to take snaps of the Duke, with Harry enduring a rather awkward moment. As Harry greeted each of the bystanders, one woman moved one of two phones that she was holding towards Harry’s face.
In footage from the interaction, as per reports, Harry can be seen touching the woman's arm before she pulled away. The Duke then exclaimed, sounding shocked: "You’ve got two cameras? How did you end up with two cameras? That doesn’t even make sense!"
He could then be heard cracking a joke with one lady who was on her honeymoon, Prince Harry said: "You didn't get married in St Paul's, though?".
This comes after a spokesperson for the Duke revealed that Harry and his father, King Charles III, would not be meeting this week after weeks of rife speculation. The spokesperson said: "It, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon."
It is not known when Harry will depart the United Kingdom, which comes ahead of his planned trip to Nigeria with his wife Meghan Markle after she seemingly snubbed the UK and failed to accompany her husband.
Harry's friend and Director at Invictus Games Foundation David Wiseman commented on the significance of the trip to Hello! Magazine this week. He said: "We're going over to Nigeria over the next few days and we're going over to see the progress that's being made with regards to establishing and developing sports recovery in that nation and celebrating that incredible progress that they've made."
