Prince Harry has certainly lived up to his larrikin expectations.

The 29-year-old kept spirits high by delivering a heartfelt speech at an event, while introducing the British team of wounded service men and women who will compete in the Invictus Games next month.

Looking casual in a black polo shirt and navy blue trousers, everything was going according to plan for the royal prankster, that is until the wind changed.

While addressing the pack of military heroes, the red head royal had the entire crowd in stitches of laughter when a strong breeze blew his notes away.

A quick thinking Harry chased after the paper and made a hasty save before poking fun at himself.

“No blowing from the left, thank you,” he said in jest.

He then went on to praise the 130 army personal sitting behind him, which included team captain, Dave Henson, who lost both his legs while on tour in Afghanistan.

“These men and women here have achieved so much already but by being selected for this team is another significant milestone in their life beyond injury,” he said.

“Everyone here behind me will be competing for themselves, but also for their mates. Also the many doctors, nurses, physios and friends who have played a part in the rehabilitation of these and many other remarkable men and women.

“And above all the families of all those sitting here, and those who will be watching on television at home, thank you.”

Last week, Prince Harry showed off his potential fathering skills when he posed with a baby dressed in “Invictus Games” merchandise as he and brother Prince William paid a visit to athletes training for the event.
