Prince Harry just doesn't stop!

The royal has hit the ground running since wrapping up his royal tour of the Caribbean and sneaking in a secret visit to Meghan Markle on the way home.

The 32-year-old is back in London after he made a quick detour to see his girlfriend in Toronto, following his royal tour.

Harry was visibly in high spirits as he joined ICAP city brokers for their annual charity day.

The prince put his charming nature to good use as he stepped in by working the phones on behalf of his charity, Sentebale.

ICAP has made Harry’s charity one of this year’s beneficiaries of their annual event.

All the global revenues made on the charity day will go to a range of important causes.

Looking very suave, Harry opted for his ye old faithful navy suit and tie combo.

While the 32-year-old was joining a bunch of suits, the brokers at ICAP decided to throw out their usual work attire, instead opting for hilarious dress-up costumes.

The financiers showed off their funny side from Where’s Wally outfits to a cross-dressing pirate.

“What are you?” Harry asked Parry Vaughan, 55, who has worked at ICAP for 20 years.

“I’m a bit of a sexy pirate,” Parry laughed.

Harry quickly responded, “No need to show me leg!”

Move over Leo… There’s a new wolf of Wall Street.

Harry shares a laugh with one of the brokers.

The royal didn’t seem the slightest bit fatigued despite having just come back from a quick visit with his love.

While manning the phones, Harry was heard telling one caller, “I’m not entirely sure what country we’re in!”

That didn’t stop the humanitarian from making a killing for his charity. The Telegraph UK reported he helped cross a deal worth “635 million US dollars.”

He was also heard rejoicing “50 million, done!”

Harry tried to negotiate another deal, “We’d like a bit more than that,” prompting laughter from the trading floor.

The fifth-in-line-to-the-throne was especially impressed by everyone’s efforts, saying, “Everyone’s made so much effort this year!”

Harry knows the secret to making a deal happen… A wide range of facial expressions!

Sophie was shocked when she discovered many had traveled on public transport wearing their costumes.

For his first royal commitment since his tour of the Caribbean, Harry was joined by his aunt, Sophie the Countess of Wessex.

Prince Edward’s wife was there to raise money for the children’s hospice Shooting Star Chase.

The 51-year-old had a hoot, and after making her very first trade, worth £28,000 [approx $47,300], she cheered, “Yes! That was so easy. What did it all mean?”

The mum-of-two was heard telling one caller about the bizarre costumes she had encountered.

“It’s amazing here, all the costumes. They are actually quite scary! I hope they didn’t come in on the Tube like that.”

Seeing them nod that they had, she laughed and added, “You did?”

Christmas is upon us… And in the UK that means drizzly weather!

December is an exciting time for the British Royal family, with their responsibilities pattering out as they prepare for their personal holiday festivities but not before one very exciting Christmas party.

Prince William, Duchess Kate and Prince Harry will be the guests of honour at a Heads Together party hosted by youth support service The Mix, to celebrate the charity’s volunteers and counsellors.

Wills and Harry will chat with counsellors and volunteers, while Catherine will join a live online chat about counselling with volunteers and young people.

Afterwards, the royal trio will kick off Christmas party reception, where The Mix will have an award ceremony.

The family no doubt receive countless invites during the Christmas season, but we expect they’ll quite select with what they attend.

Zara Tindall gave us an insight to the holidays, telling Country Living, “Having all the generations of my family together at Christmas is my favourite part of the season.”

“It’s a time of year that is about being with people you love, great food and loads of games to play.”

Royal well-wishers would love to get a peak inside the magical day… And while that may never happen, we have the next best thing!

Madame Tussauds London unveiled a special version of the royal family’s wax figures, with all the members rocking matching Christmas sweaters.

The hilarious knitted outfits are a part of the Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day campaign – but we think it’s a jolly Christmas miracle!

Yes, Wills and Kate are in a conjoined sweater!
