Prince Harry showcased his quick wit after he was told a joke about his father, King Charles, during his recent joint appearance with Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the David Foster Foundation 40th Anniversary Celebration in Canada last Friday.
While there, Harry met with 2024 Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas. The star revealed the duke’s reaction after she made an awkward joke about his father, whom he had seen last month during his trip to Britain. She told The Sun: “When I was on stage, I joked about meeting his dad before adding, ‘Sorry he couldn’t make it. He sent me instead’.”

But Ms Christmas, who performed Tomorrow from Annie and Frank Sinatra’s My Way, said Harry took the whole thing lightly and started laughing before hugging her after her performance.
She said: “Oh my god – I say such silly things when I’m nervous, but Harry started laughing.
“When I got down off stage, he just came forward and gave me a big cuddle.
“And he went, ‘Sydnie, I felt every word. I really felt that in the back of my throat’.”
She added: “He just went in for the hug and I was like, ‘Why not?’.”
The Duke of Sussex met with his father privately in July when he visited the UK for five days.
Harry took his wife, Meghan Markle, as well as his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to Highgrove House for the private family gathering, which included Queen Camilla.
It was the first time Archie and “Lili” saw their grandfather in person in four years.
