Prince Harry booed at Leicester Tigers v Gloucester rugby match

Prince Harry was booed while watching Gloucester's Gallagher Prem match away at Leicester on Friday night.

The former working royal, who is known for his love of Rugby Union, was greeted with boos from Leicester Tigers fans when he was shown on the big screen, LeicestershireLive reports.

He was pictured taking his seat in the stands with a pint in hand and reportedly sat with his cousin on the side of his late mother, Princess Diana, of the family. It comes just weeks after Harry made his high-profile return to UK soil.

He and his wife, Meghan Markle, returned to the UK from the US in late August with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, for what is reportedly an extended stay.

The couple have enrolled their children at British schools for the Autumn term and, while they retain their home in California and remain non-working royals, Harry and Meghan have been establishing a new base for themselves outside of the capital.

Harry has recently been making a handful of public appearances, his latest being at this Leicester v Gloucester match.

Having previously served as the patron of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) - a role now held by the Princess of Wales - he has remained an ardent supporter of the game.
