Prince Harry dismissed his ’embarrassed royal’ label with bold gestures during his appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show -VIDEO

Prince Harry’s bold gestures hinted at how he really felt during a surprise appearance on US TV, according to an expert.

The Duke of Sussex was filmed screaming as he ventured through a haunted maze with Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show, following a week of high-profile appearances in New York. Harry did not take part in a typical interview with host Fallon, instead opting to become the first surprise guest to test a Halloween experience called Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares at the Rockefeller Centre in the Big Apple.

The segment broadcast on US network NBC saw swear words bleeped out as Harry, who had a camera strapped to his chest, appeared jumpy while wandering through the maze.

When asked if he is easily scared, Harry said: “Not normally, but today might be different,” before appearing to be frightened by a dressed-up panda. In a comical moment, the duke compared a haunted figure wearing a suit to a famous Canadian singer. “Is that Michael Buble? Good job buddy,” Harry joked.

At the end of the experience, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being frightened while posing for a picture with Fallon. And according to body language expert Judi James, throughout the skit, Harry is “totally and utterly in his element as a performer doing comedy to camera”.

She explained to the Mirror: “There’s nothing in his body language that hints ’embarrassed royal’ or even ‘show guest’ as he joins in with the kind of keenness that suggests he’d love to host a show of his own.
