Prince Harry returned an Easter egg to a cheeky young boy who had offered it to him as a gift but told him he must share it with his sister.

Five-year-old Jude Campbell was supposed to be handing over the chocolate treat to Harry as he greeted crowds with his fiancee Meghan Markle in Belfast on Friday.

But the schoolboy, who appeared reluctant to hand it over when the moment arrived, was told by Harry that he could keep it as long as he shared it with his sister.

ITV's royal correspondent Chris Ship caught the scene on camera as Jude greeted the royal couple with a Cadbury Easter egg, before admitting he would rather keep it for himself.

Meghan introduces the pair, when Harry can be heard asking: "Hello Jude, can I shake your hand?"

Catching a glimpse of the chocolate egg, Meghan then says: "He has a present for you."

Eliciting roars of laughter from youngster Jude's family, Harry asks: "You don't want to give it to me, do you?

"Would you rather keep it for yourself? It's okay, you can keep it. Happy Easter."

When Jude tells Harry the girl stood next to him is his sibling, he replies: "Okay, share it with your sister.

Their visit comes after the couple, who will marry at St George's Chapel, Windsor on May 19, sent out their wedding invitations yesterday.

In keeping with royal visits to Northern Ireland, details were not released in advance and the itinerary was not disclosed for security reasons.
