Story summary

On October 9, Prince Harry was booed by spectators during a rugby match between Leicester Tigers and Gloucester Rugby at Welford Road stadium in England. Harry, who has been a long-time rugby fan, attended the game with Andrea Pinchen, Leicester's chief executive, and had a beer in hand. The boos were audible when the TNT cameras briefly showed him on the big screen, causing commentator Nick Mullins to comment, "Some boos there." This incident occurred as Harry, 42, continues his return to the UK after living in the United States for six years with his wife Meghan, who did not attend this event. Despite reported tensions, particularly with his brother Prince William and wife Catherine, Harry has reportedly mended relations with his father, King Charles III, though he remains estranged from Prince William and his family. Leicester Tigers won the match against Gloucester Rugby with a score of 38-31.
