Prince Harry's This Morning interview nearly turned awkward after host Alison Hammond made an unexpected request that left him visibly flustered.
The Duke of Sussex sat down with the presenter in Birmingham during his UK visit, where he attended the NEC event celebrating the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games.
Following a friendly game of laser tag with the popular ITV personality, Alison spoke with Prince Harry about the meaningful initiative behind the event.

The royal then disclosed that his children, Prince Archie, seven and Princess Lilibet, five, were big admirers of hers. This led Alison to reference the Duke's humorous impersonation of her on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
After Harry noted: "It was a huge hit," Alison proposed: "I live in Birmingham, are you going to come round to my house today or a little bit later?"

Prince Harry appeared clearly surprised by the invitation and blushed noticeably as he stammered: "Uh, maybe."
Offering the Royal a meal of Ackee and Saltfish, an enthusiastic Alison declared: "Let's do it!" to which Harry responded: "Alright, let me think about it."
"Alright, have a think about it. I'll go and get everything ready at the house, a little tidy up, bleach my toilets," she laughed.

This prompted the Duke to quip, "Why do you need to tidy up? I'll come and bleach your toilets."
After the mother of one then inquired: "Can I come to the Invictus Games next year as well?" Prince Harry nodded: "Of course, you can."
Alison mentioned, "I'll bring my son and everything.
"I'll be disappointed if you aren't coming," the Duke replied before embracing Alison and waving farewell to the cameras.
Viewers immediately flocked to social media with their responses to Alison's invitation, with one writing: "Prince Harry must be thinking 'wtaf?' #thismorning." (sic).
Another ITV audience member observed: "Alison Hammond was actually doing *so* well there with a serious interview, and then she suddenly reverted to type, asked Harry round to her house, and made it all about her."
A third commented: "You know that he isn't coming to do your toilets right, Alison... right?".
Meanwhile, a fourth viewer applauded: "Alison is just brilliant."
During their conversation, Prince Harry also discussed his family after the ITV host asked: "Your kids and Meghan must be so proud of you. Do they tell you every day?".
The Royal answered: "They don't tell me every day that they're proud of me, but yeah, I'm proud of them. I love my family."
