PRINCE Harry thrilled Strictly Come Dancing viewers on Saturday evening with a surprise appearance on the show via video call.
The 36-year-old royal called pal JJ Chalmers during his rehearsals with professional dance partner Amy Dowden.
JJ was shocked to see Harry on the laptop screen, while the royal’s first comment was cheeky quip: “Nice tan!”
He then introduced himself to Amy, who was clearly overwhelmed to be meeting the prince.
Praising JJ for being so inspirational on the show – and sharing his immense pride – Harry rounded up the chat by joking: “You are definitely having an impact on society now, especially when you’re wearing those tight blue shorts.
His appearance comes as it was reported his wife, Meghan Markle, has recently hired two new publicity experts in a bid to fix her popularity ratings.
Widely respected PR experts Christine Weil Schirmer and Toya Holness have changed their social media profiles to private – meaning only friends can see their photos and commentary.
A source said: “Meghan is well aware that she and Harry are no longer the golden couple.
“Prince William and Kate can do no wrong now as far as the UK is concerned, whereas she and Harry are seen as a self-interested couple who quit the Royal Family to pursue their own interests.
“Meghan hopes to turn things around and show people how committed to doing good she is, and for them to see a different, more positive side to her.”
