He may be a married man, but Prince Harry’s still a hit with the ladies it would seem.

The Duke of Sussex paid a whirlwind visit to Japan at the weekend to cheer on the English rugby union team during their Rugby World Cup Finals match against South Africa.

Beforehand however, he paid a visit to would-be Japanese Paralympians at the new Para Arena training centre where he had a very sweet interaction with some of his fans.

In a sweet video which documented Harry’s visit to the centre shared to the Royal Family Channel on Twitter, Harry is seen posing with young school children for a photo towards the end of his visit.

While many held up union jack flags for the camera, others seemed to have other things on their mind.

At one point one of the pupils pointed to her wedding ring finger cheekily, while another pupil reportedly told Harry he was “handsome”.

Of course, ever the gentleman cracked a huge smiled before pointing to his wedding ring and saying, “I’m married.”

Following his visit to the training centre Prince Harry, who is the patron of England’s Rugby Football Union, made his way to the Rugby World Cup Final in Yokohama to cheer on team England, sitting alongside Japan’s Crown Prince Akishino and his wife Crown Princess Kiko.

And while they didn’t come away with the win, defeated by South Africa, the Prince, who travelled without Duchess Meghan and six-month-old Archie, still looked to be in high spirits following the match where he was seen giving South African President Cyril Ramaphosa a big huge in a video shared to the Sussex Royal Instagram account following the match.

“Tonight was not England’s night, but the whole nation is incredibly proud of what @EnglandRugby have achieved over the past few months,” Harry wrote on Instagram.

“Hold your heads high boys, you did an outstanding job and we couldn’t have asked more from you.

“To the whole of South Africa – rugby unites all of us in more ways than we can imagine, and tonight I have no doubt that it will unite all of you.

“After last month’s visit, I can’t think of a nation that deserves it more. Well done and enjoy!,” he adds, signing off with, “Arigatu gozaimasu Nihon.”
