PRINCE Harry paid a special visit to GrowthPoint Kings Park this morning to much fanfare from local and international media. His Royal Highness enjoyed a morning of touch rugby with children at the Shark Tank and even had some fun with the lovable franchise’s mascot, Sharkie.
After appearing in the annual Sentebale Polo Cup tournament, the 31-year-old royal was once again in the thick of things when his team, made up of KwaZulu-Natal Rugby Union Hotspots coaching clinic children from Inanda and Umlazi, lost by five tries to two in a game of touch rugby. His team went up against Sharks CEO and former Springboks captain, John Smit.
He arrived wearing a red beaded pin to mark World AIDS Day and quickly changed into a Sharks shirt and shorts for a game of his favourite sport, rugby.
