Prince Harry surprised everyone with an appearance on This Morning as he played laser tag and hugged host Alison Hammond.
The Duke of Sussex let loose at the Invictus Games event in Birmingham today, where he challenged This Morning star Alison Hammond in a friendly match of laser tag.
The pair showed their competitive side as they aimed, with former soldier Harry opting for a two-hand grip on the gun.
They then laughed, hugged and jumped up like old pals.
Meanwhile, rumours continue to swirl that Prince Harry might not be visiting the UK alone.
Fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not given up hope of catching a glimpse of the Duchess of Sussex and the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, on their rare visit to the UK this week.
Meghan and the children are said to be reuniting with King Charles, whom the kids saw last time in person at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
However, time is running out for the rumoured reunion as Harry is set to depart on Sunday following the Invictus Games countdown launch in Birmingham.
Meghan, Archie and Lilibet might join Harry only for private family gatherings and not attend any public engagements, the Mirror reports.
There have been no sightings of the family besides Harry, and Meghan and the kids’ presence in the UK has not been officially confirmed.
Meghan was scheduled to join her husband at the Invictus one-year countdown event at Birmingham’s NEC today, but Harry was attending solo.
Metro has approached the Sussexes’ representative for a comment. Meghan’s spokesperson has previously declined to comment on the reports.
King Charles, 77, has met Archie, seven, only a few times before the Sussexes moved to the US.
The monarch, who has been undergoing cancer treatments after his 2024 diagnosis, has met Lilibet, five, only once during the June 2022 Jubilee.
The family’s trip to the UK was marked by security concerns after Harry’s protection level was changed when he stepped down as a working royal in 2020.
The Duke has been in a lengthy legal battle with the Home Office over the security arrangements decision, which saw him lose a Court of Appeal challenge last year.
He claimed in a BBC interview that Charles doesn’t speak to him because of the court case.

Harry said: ‘I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things that they’re going to miss is, well, everything you know.’
The father and son met over tea in Clarence House in September last year when Harry was visiting the UK alone, the first time the pair had reunited in almost 20 months.
Prince Harry has hinted previously he wishes to reconcile with his father.
Harry has had a packed itinerary since he touched down in London alone on Monday, including visits to Birmingham Children’s Hospital and WellChild, a charity he is a patron of.
The 41-year-old royal was surrounded by nurses and staff at the children’s hospital yesterday, where he talked about the financial strain facing the NHS.
He told a 12-year-old patient, Alec, that his son Archie is ‘obssessed with Lego’ and a ‘master builder.’
