Prince Harry plays it cool when faced with serial prankster for the second time

Prince Harry was targeted for the second time by a serial radio prankster during his tour of Australia.

The Duke of Sussex was with his pregnant wife Meghan when they were faced by the comic interviewer waiting patiently in a long line of press and photographers.

The prankster - "intern" Pete Deppeler, who works for the KIIS FM show, previously brought a laugh out of the royal, by yelling "The floor is lava!"

He counted down from five, and cheered as he made the Prince look at the ground.

So when he was sent to interview the royal again for the Kyle & Jackie O Show at Sydney Opera House, he excitedly shouted: "Hey Harry! Harry! Harry! It's Intern Pete, I talk to you every year!"

But Harry just maintained his composure and walked on seeming not to recognise him.

Intern Pete then congratulated Harry on his and Meghan's big news, and the Prince politely said thank you and moved on.

Harry and Meghan met members of the public near Sydney Opera hours earlier today as they started their official 16-day Autumn tour visiting cities in Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.

Harry had said at an address earlier: "It is obviously great to be back in Australia, obviously more so as this is my wife's first visit here, so I'm very excited to show her this incredibly country of yours. Perhaps not Kangaroo flats military training camp in Darwin, though."
