Prince Harry appears 'happy and relaxed' in new video to honour English rugby
Prince Harry has appeared in a touching new video to honour his ties to English rugby.
The video was shared on Twitter in celebration of 150 years of the sport.
Despite stepping down from his duties as a senior royal over a year ago and relocating to the USA, the Duke of Sussex is still patron of the Rugby Football Union.
Fans were quick to comment on how "happy and relaxed" the prince looked, many saying that "California suits him."
"Come back mate. We need you here," one tweet read.
"He is tanned. Must be the Cali sunshine," joked another.
"Love you Harry," gushed another. "Take care of yourself and your family."
In the clip, Prince Harry talks about the "joy" that Rugby Union has thought millions of people.

Prince Harry was meant to be going back to Britain this spring to attend some important events for the Royal family, but it's uncertain when he will be able to visit.
His grandfather, Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh will celebrate his 100th birthday on June 10 and the Queen's official Trooping the Colour birthday parade is due to go ahead on June 12.
Harry's attendance will depend on what travel restrictions between the USA and UK are, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
