Has anyone met Prince Harry in real life? What was your impression of him?

Does he look quite attractive up close in the flesh?

Yes - he seemed charming, cheeky, funny and good looking. It was the early noughties though, and all of us had been drinking, so who knows if my recollection is reliable 😂

Thebelleofstmarys · 09/09/2022 15:07

My son has met both brothers more than once an said they were friendly , funny and had beautiful manners.

Mypy · 09/09/2022 18:12

No, but I can confirm William has a brilliant sense of humour!

takemetomybeach · 09/09/2022 18:13

Yes. Several times through work. He is much quieter and unassuming than you'd maybe think. Funny, too. And really handsome!

Seriously why? If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.

Yes, I've seen him up close at a Buckingham Palace garden party. He was handsome and charming.

Simonjt · 09/09/2022 18:30

He came to the foodbank I volunteer at, he did a full eight hour shift, was very nice, hardworking and just seemed very normal.

No ut I’ve met Anne and Charles and they were both utterly lovely and Anne was v funny

sparechange · 09/09/2022 18:37

Yes, I’m a pub in Chelsea in 2016

i was having lunch and he sat at the next table with his mate
His mate was clearly having relationship issues with a girl who Harry also knew, and they spent a while chatting about it

He was aware that everyone else in the pub had clocked him, so when he finished his meal (burger and chips, full fat coke!) he went table to table saying hello to everyone and then left

it was a Tuesday or Wednesday lunchtime so not particularly busy but it was a nice gesture

didn’t consider him to be particularly good looking tbh

fyn · 09/09/2022 18:43

Yes, he ran full pelt into me at a party once. He was terribly apologetic, I was only 18 and quite surprised, I didn’t know quite what to say so mumbled into my drink!

1994girl · 09/09/2022 18:49

Nope, and wouldn't care to meet the royals either.

My colleagues have. He made a personal visit to an ex army pal about 10 years ago and our workplace is connected to the venue. He agreed in advance to meet more service users / photoshoot etc and was, by all accounts, incredibly kind and funny.

Buffyzombie · 09/09/2022 18:57

Yes. Funny, charming and up for doing shots !

obsessedwithsleep · 09/09/2022 18:57

I know a pretty out there story about Harry from back in the day.

Go on....

EbbyEbs · 09/09/2022 19:01

I always imagined Anne would be very funny. She was hilarious in The Crown

I know someone who met Harry and said he was down to earth and lovely with a good sense of humour

Vecnasnurse · 09/09/2022 19:01

He was a regular at a restaurant I waitressed at. Always polite, lively, and boisterous. He is good looking and has a very nice voice.

FrankTheThunderbird · 09/09/2022 19:02

Sadly not. Because he's gorgeous and I'm clearly his type not

HeddaGarbled · 09/09/2022 19:04

Someone I know was introduced to him at a function. She said he smelled nice.

Karmakamelion · 09/09/2022 19:05

He is lovely and very aware that people have to do extra for him and is very accommodating of their requirements.

He is charming and extremely kind and personable.

SkirridHill · 09/09/2022 19:07

I realise it's not the point of the thread and I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell me off, but I totally would.

Introvertedandalone · 09/09/2022 19:12

Yes, I used to go to the gym when he was there whilst he was doing some military training. I used to be on the next treadmill to him fairly often. Once on my way back from the gym his bodyguard reversed into my car.
He’s a normal everyday kind of guy. Pretty modest and unassuming but fairly attractive.

BabyDreamers · 09/09/2022 19:12

I'd love to be sandwiched between those 2 brothers 🤣

Imissmoominmama · 09/09/2022 19:17

@BabyDreamers - people used to say that about Andrew and Charles…
