Prince Harry makes his first public appearance since he and wife Meghan, dropped a bombshell that they will no longer serve as senior British Royal.
Since that incident and the response from the Queen, Prince Harry makes his public appearance joining players from across the globe at Buckingham Palace to host the Rugby League World Cup 2021 (RLWC2021) draw.
Prince Harry who was initially rumoured to be flying back to Canada to join his family, is representing the Queen at the Rugby League World Cup draw, after which he could possibly fly back to Canada, where the Sussex Royal have now made their second home.
According to the reports by Evening Standard, Harry was asked about the discussions on the couple’s future by reporters at the event but did not respond.
The duke, who wore a suit, smiled and joked when he was welcomed by the RLWC2021’s chief executive officer Jon Dutton and its non-executive director Stuart Cain in the palace gardens.
The global tournament being staged by the UK is the pinnacle event for rugby league and will take place during October and November in 17 cities across England.
Harry was also introduced to two ambassadors for the global tournament – James Simpson, England and Leeds Rhino wheelchair rugby league star, and Jodie Cunningham, a rugby league player in the Women’s Super League for St Helens.
In front of the group were 12 children from St Vincent de Paul Catholic primary school in Westminster, playing on a mini rugby pitch.
The youngsters are Westminster champions in tag rugby, a non-contact form of the game, for the last three years.
Mr Simpson made Harry laugh when he said: “we started without you”.
Harry chatted to the youngsters during a pause in their exhibition match and then the group posed for a photograph in front of a large group of photographers, cameramen and journalists.
