The Duke of Sussex is said to be a fan of reggae singer Shaggy, according to the performer

Jamaican-native Shaggy, whose real name is Orville Richard Burrell, told Observer Magazine that Harry had come to visit the Bustamante Hospital for Children. 

He said: “My daughter thought he was supposed to be a prince on a horse, like in her storybook.

“He turned to me and said, ‘Wow, she’s just so not impressed’, and then he sang, ‘It Wasn’t Me’. 

“So Prince Harry is a Shaggy fan!”

Shaggy added that he also hopes the Queen is one of his biggest fans, after he played at the Royal Albert hall for her 92nd birthday. 

He said: “Afterwards I was standing right beside her. It would have been crazy if she was like, ‘Hello, Mr Boombastic’.”

It Wasn’t Me is considered to be Shaggy’s biggest hits, and is about a man caught cheating on his girlfriend. 

It became the best selling single of 2001.

The popular singer also spoke of how he got his stage name Shaggy, and said: “I got the name Shaggy in high school. My hair was all over the place, and so they called me Shaggy, like a Shaggy dog. I didn’t like it.

“Then I went to England. I was in a cab, and the guy driving the taxi said, ‘Oh my God – I can’t believe they’re playing a song from a bloke with a name Shaggy!

“In England, the term ‘s**g’ is colloquially used to describe sexual relations. I thought It was the coolest name after that!”
