Prince Harry has a cute moment during his Japanese tour.
The Duke of Sussex visited Japan on November 2 ahead of the Rugby World Cup 2019 Final and made a stop at the new Para Arena training center to meet with Paralympic hopefuls.
The royal posed for a picture with a group of local schoolchildren as they held up the flag for England. During the photo op, one of the students appeared to point out how handsome Harry was. He laughed off the compliment, pointed to his ring finger and said, “I’m married!”
The whole interaction was captured and shared by The Royal Family Channel on Twitter. The moment comes about four minutes into the video, which you can see below.
