In the clip, Meghan is seen laughing at the present while jokingly saying, "So inappropriate! I love it, thank you so much."

It isn't the first time Harry has pocketed a pair of swimmers from his supporters, with the royal previously receiving a pair from Aussies at the 2018 games.

At the time, Dylan Alcott shared the story in an interview alongside 2GB's Ben Fordham, referencing a letter he'd received from Harry.

The cheeky royal ended his correspondence with Alcott by nodding to a gift he was given during his time Down Under.

"We presented him with a pair of Invictus Games personalised Australian budgy smugglers, and me being the idiot I am, we gave them over.

"He said, 'Thank you, I'll be sure to wear them,' and I said, 'Why don't you chuck them on now, mate?' So, what did he do? He put them on live on TV; I couldn't believe it."

Considering Alcott had matching swimmers, he suggested the royal was simply enquiring into their use.

"I got a pair as well, I think he's relating to that, so seeing if I've been wearing them and Harry," he continued.

"I know you're a big fan of the Ben Fordham show, so if you are listening brother, I have been wearing them."
