Prince Harry playfully pointed to his wedding ring when a young Japanese fan gushed about how “handsome” he was.

The Duke of Sussex met with schoolchildren and Paralympic hopefuls ahead of the Rugby World Cup final in Yokohama, The Sun reported.

Ahead of the match the 35-year-old visited the Nippon Foundation Para Arena, in Tokyo, where he chatted with students.

While Harry made the trip solo his wife, Meghan, wasn’t far from his mind as he flashed his wedding ring at a group of admirers.

A video shared to the Royal Family Twitter channel shows the dad-of-one posing for a photo with a group of schoolgirls, who were waving England flags.

The young fans crouch down to get closer to him, and after the photographer has finished snapping the meeting, the giggling students call him “handsome”.

One plucky fan points at her own finger, and in response Harry flashes his wedding ring at the group.

It sees them descend into fits of laughter as Harry bashfully smiles and waves at the group as he heads off.

The Sussex’s Instagram page posted about his visit, saying: “The Duke of Sussex has arrived in Japan ahead of today’s Rugby World Cup 2019 Final.

“First stop is a visit to the new Para Arena training centre, a fully accessible venue to provide equal opportunities to the local community.”

Harry jetted to the country over the weekend to support the England squad in the final, who were defeated by rivals South Africa 32-12 to lift the Webb Ellis Cup.

He later posted a message on Instagram following the final, saying: “Tonight was not England’s night, but the whole nation is incredibly proud of what @EnglandRugby have achieved over the past few months.
