Prince Harry was asked if he would ever be king and his answer was perfect

Prince Harry may be the fifth-in-line to the British throne but some of his youngest fans think the spare heir should be the one wearing the crown.

The 31-year-old royal headed to Lambs Lane Primary School in Wokingham, Berks to film a guest spot on Sky Sports’ Game Changers show.

It was there a young boy questioned, “Are you ever going to be King?”

Chuckling, Harry replied, “That’s the question everybody wanted, let’s be honest! You’ll be glad to know, probably not!”

Prince Harry can’t stop smiling at Tristan’s cute question.

The boy, Tristan, seemed sad about Harry’s slim hopes of ever becoming king which prompted the charming red-headed royal to try and console him.

“Oh look at the disappointment!” Harry laughed.

“I love that! I’m going to give you a high-five.”

Speaking afterwards, the young boy explained why he was upset.

“I just want Prince Harry to do what he wants, what he really, really wants. I think it would be a fun experience for him to be King. I would love to see him be King.”

Phwoarrr! The Prince shows off his impressive skills.

Harry is currently promoting the Invictus Games.

Harry was filming the spot to encourage children to get into sport.

During the event, Captain Wales also introduced the youngsters to some of the athletes competing in his Invictus Games.

Earlier that day hot off the games circuit, the 31-year-old dropped by BBC Radio 2 to chat with host Chris Evans about the upcoming Olympic-style event.

“It is epic amounts of fun, and it’s for everyone,” he quipped.

“And these guys are fantastic ambassadors for going out there and putting on a show.”

He went on to discuss the positive aspects of the competition for injured service men and women, which begins in Orlando on 8 May

“What we have learned so far is that the power of sport is something unbelievably special.”

“We did the games and the British public – like always – came out in their thousands and supported something they did not know would be a success.”

“But the reason it was a success was these competitors and every single one of the spectators that came and watched and support them. That’s what it was – it was magical.”

Concluding, “‘These guys are legends. We are the lucky ones to be able to see them on the sporting field.”
