Prince Harry, currently in the UK with his family, became talk of the students during his visit to Ninestiles Academy in Birmingham on Friday.
In a light-hearted moment that had an entire assembly hall in stitches, students were left debating the royals when one pupil boldly asked, “Who is Prince Harry?”
The laughter didn’t last long, because another student had the perfect comeback ready: “He’s the King’s son.”
The hilarious exchange happened as the Duke himself addressed nearly 200 pupils gathered in the school’s assembly hall.
When asked to name who inspired him, the Duke’s answer surprised everyone.”It’s not a single person, it’s a whole group of people,” he shared.
“And it’s not always the people you probably think it is.”Gesturing to the Invictus Games competitors standing beside him, he said: “It’s these guys. This Invictus community of people who get knocked down but keep getting back up. The people who support them in that process.”
During his trip, the Duke unveiled a new Invictus Games educational initiative called Inspire. The visit to the host city of his 2027 Invictus Games came less than a day after he hosted the inaugural Spirit Invictus Awards on Thursday evening.
