Prince Harry described life under coronavirus as ‘these isolated times’ tonight as he marked 150 years of England Rugby.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, appeared at the start of a film online to pay tribute to the sport in footage shot in his Montecito mansion.
In the now familiar pose sat on his sofa in front of three nest paintings, the be-suited Royal spoke of the “passion and enjoyment” of sport.
He said: ‘Rugby union has brought joy to millions of people with teams full of great characters and special players.
‘In these… isolated times, the sheer passion and enjoyment that sport offers can bring great comfort to many.
‘As proud patron of the Rugby Football Union, I join millions of supporters across the entire world in celebrating 150 years of England Rugby.’
Harry was speaking ahead of England and Scotland marking rugby’s oldest international rivalry when they meet at Twickenham on Saturday.
The game will mark the 150th anniversary of the first ever Test, which took place on March 27, 1871 in Edinburgh.
Harry, who was sporting a beard, appeared in a video posted on the England Rugby Twitter account on Friday night.
Dressed in a navy blazer and white shirt with the top two buttons open, he looked smart for the recording.
