Today host gets touchy feely with Prince Harry waxwork

Lisa Wilkinson has shown her affection for Prince Harry by stroking his face and planting a kiss on the royal – or at least, the next best thing to the real thing.

The Today host got very touchy-feely live on air when she was paired up with a Madame Tussauds wax work of the prince this morning.

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him," Wilkinson says.

"This is amazing, he is so life-like."

She then lovingly strokes the faux-Harry face, saying she got "a whole lot better" than what Sydneysider Victoria McRae got yesterday, who got a cheeky kiss by the real-life prince as he prepared to leave Australia.

As to what Wilkinson's husband, journalist and author Peter Fitzsimons, thought of Wilkinson's public display of royal affection, we are yet to know.
