Prince Harry booed while attending rugby game

Prince Harry personally felt the fact that his popularity in his native Great Britain has suffered significantly on Friday when he attended a rugby game. When the 42-year-old attended the first division game between Leicester and Gloucester and was shown on the large stadium screen in between, parts of the audience booed.

Prince Harry is a keen rugby fan and attended the game with Andrea Pinchen, managing director of the Leicester Tigers.

The royal, holding a beer mug, was briefly shown on the stadium's big screen. There were clear boos before the TNT cameras changed the picture, the Telegraph also reported. TV commentator Nick Mullins also addressed the mixed reaction, noting "there were some boos" before quickly returning to the action. The recordings were also controversially discussed on Instagram. Some users were happy that the 42-year-old had fun playing the game, others complained that the prince certainly didn't pay for his ticket himself.

It was the Duke's latest public appearance since his family returned to Britain. After a six-year absence, Harry unexpectedly returned to Great Britain from the USA at the end of August with his wife, the former US actress Meghan Markle, and their two children Archie and Lilibet. The couple withdrew from their royal duties at the beginning of 2020 following a rift with the royal family.

With his father King Charles III, who was suffering from cancer. Prince Harry has apparently reconciled. According to reports, the rift with his older brother, heir to the throne Prince William, and his wife Kate still exists.
