Prince Harry received an funny — if a bit odd — compliment about his trademark beard in a bizarre moment at the Invictus Games on Monday.
The Duke of Sussex arrived today, September 11, for day three of this year’s games in Dusseldorf to watch the athletics.
He sat with Kenyan senator Gloria Orwoba and Ukrainian Minister of Veteran Affairs, Yulia Laputina, in the stands.
After launching this year’s games on September 9, the Invictus founder has been meeting many representatives and athletes from the countries taking part in the games, as well as delighting royal fans with glimpses of the famous Prince.
In one video which has gone viral on social media, captured by the Telegraph's royal correspondent Victoria Ward, Harry is seen walking in front of a noisy crowd while fans shout for his attention — one, in particular stands out.

An unidentified man can be heard shouting over the group: “Great hair Prince.”
Then after a short pause, he follows up with: “Your beard is delicious!"
The Prince’s reaction cannot be seen in the video but some laughter from the crowd can be heard in the background.
Ms Ward posted the video with the caption: “Big fan obvs.”

The Duke of Sussex, who founded the games in 2014 to honour sick, injured and wounded military personnel, said he plans to attend as many events as he can during the week-long competition. He has already participated in the German version of 'Match of the Day', broadcast by German channel, ZDF.
It saw the royal facing a light-hearted, goal wall challenge alongside Germany's Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and two other guests, and the smiling Prince took part in the penalty shootout in good spirits.
Tomorrow, his wife Meghan Markle is expected to join him in Germany, though there has been much speculation over whether she will make the trip over from California.
The official guide for the Invictus Games suggested Meghan would "take to the stage" for the closing ceremony to present a segment about the competitor's lives.
