Prince Harry attended a Leicester Tigers versus Gloucester rugby union match at Welford Road on Friday evening. When shown on the big screen with a beer in hand, he received a mixed reception from the crowd, with some fans booing. Photographs and video showed him animated during the match, with his hands raised at times and appearing engaged in conversation with another spectator.

Leicester Tigers won the match 38-31. Harry, who is known to be a keen rugby supporter, previously served as patron of the Rugby Football Union before that role passed to the Princess of Wales.

The Duke of Sussex returned to the UK in late August with his wife Meghan and their children after six years living in the United States. Since arriving, the family has been establishing a base outside London, with their children enrolling in British schools. Harry and Meghan have been seen making occasional public appearances, including a pub lunch together in the Cotswolds the previous week.
