Prince Harry will meet the England rugby union team today.
The 33-year-old royal is well known to be a huge fan of the sport so will no doubt enjoy rubbing shoulders with the stars at their home stadium, Twickenham, in south west London, where he will watch them take part in an open training session.
Harry – who is patron of the RFU (Rugby Football Union) – will be joined by thousands of others who will witness the spectacle ahead of the side’s crunch Six Nations game against Scotland this weekend.
A post on the official England Rugby website read: "There are over 10,000 fans expected at The Home of England Rugby to watch Eddie Jones and his coaching staff put the squad through their paces ahead of their third NatWest 6 Nations match against Scotland.
"Jones and players will also be interviewed on the day, while the behind the scenes access will continue on the official England Rugby social channels on Instagram and Snapchat. (sic)"
The event will also be streamed live on England’s Facebook page, and will be available worldwide.
In September, Harry – who will marry his fiancée Meghan Markle in May – spent time with the England rugby league team in Manchester, where he was on hand to offer his support and give them all a confident boost as they prepared for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
Rugby Football League Rugby Director, Kevin Sinfield, said at the time: "It was an honour to have Prince Harry as our guest at the final Elite Performance Squad meeting this afternoon.
"I know he met a few of the players at a Sky Try festival event a couple of months ago but I’m pleased for the rest of the squad that they got the chance to spend time with our patron and see how passionate he is about our sport and the national team.
"It’s moments like these that give you that extra boost before a major tournament and shows the support that is there for the squad as we aim for World Cup success."
England managed to reach the final of the tournament in December, but sadly lost out 6-0 to Australia.
