An “excited” Prince Harry said he can’t wait for his wedding day.

When another fan asked how Harry was feeling, he quipped back: “Relaxed of course!”

During the meet-and-greet, Harry chatted to seven-year-old Meghan O’Shea from Windsor.

Meghan explained: “He asked me my name and said ‘is that like the one I’m going to marry? There are not many Meghans with an H.”

“Relaxed of course,” the 33-year-old joked about his pre-wedding nerves.

We can’t wait to see these two in action on the big day.

Harry looked dapper in navy trousers, a white shirt and a grey blazer, while Wills stuck to the same style of uniform.

In another sweet exchange, a tourist ask Prince William how he was going with newborn son Prince Louis.

“I’m not getting much sleep – but I’m sure it will get better,” William replied, the MailOnline report.

Meanwhile, as Harry worked his charm offensive on the adoring crowds his soon-to-be wife Meghan Markle and mum Dorian Ragland checked into the Cliveden House Hotel, a 350-year-old stately home which has been turned into a luxury hotel and is about a 30-minute drive away from the castle.

And in yet another dramatic turn of events, overnight Kensington Palace announced that Prince Charles will be walking Meghan Markle down the aisle after her father Thomas Markle pulled out.

“I’m not getting much sleep – but I’m sure it will get better,” new father-of-three Prince William revealed.
