After taking part in a military training exercise over Sydney Harbour this morning, Prince Harry has greeted screaming fans outside the Opera House today.
The royal meet and greet is one of two engagements Prince Harry is undertaking on Thursday, in light of his looming departure.
When asked by media about his morning he joked: “There was more than one kiss.”
Arriving by boat, Prince Harry was greeted by NSW Premier Mike Baird on the steps of the Opera House in Circular Quay, and hundreds of royal enthusiasts.
He spoke to a group of primary school children who were sitting on the steps of the Opera House, cheekily asking them why they weren’t at school.
The Royal will be heading to Macquarie University Clinic now to visit British soldier, Lieutenant Ali Spearing, who is receiving specialist treatment to fit prosthetic legs.
Lt Spearing lost both his legs during deployment in Afghanistan in 2011.
After his month-long attachment with the Australian Defence Force, Prince Harry will be returning home to London on Saturday.
