 Prince Harry proved that he was the king of comedy as he had children in stitches during a tour of Launchpad, a charity which provides affordable housing for former soldiers, late this afternoon.

The 30-year-old royal spent several minutes entertaining members of the public, who had waited patiently all day to greet him outside Avondale House in Byker, Newcastle.

Harry managed to get a giggle from most of the chilly crowd as he larked around with some of the younger members of the group.
