Prince Harry visited a special photo exhibition of wounded service personnel by singer Bryan Adams - where he shared a joke with some of the subjects.
All of those pictured at the exhibition at London's Somerset House tonight had suffered life-changing injuries on military duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Harry, an army captain in the Blues and Royals, laughed as he chatted easily with many of the wounded soldiers who took part as he was shown round the individual portraits by each subject.

'Fourteen people collapsed though during the ceremony and it was only 12 degrees heat.

It was the idea of ITN journalist Caroline Froggatt to approach Canadian Adams, 55, about producing portraits of those injured during the war.
She said: 'These portraits are a reminder of how savage war is but also serve as a reminded that each of us has an ongoing duty of care to our wounded veterans.'
Bryan Adams said: 'Rehabilitation doesn't end at the hospital.
It's an ongoing process and I'm delighted that for some of the guys and girls in these portraits, actually sitting for them helped re-evaluate how they saw themselves.'

He said: 'I weas a big guy, 6ft2, weighing 16 stone and used to pumping a lot of iron.

'But I was really pleased when I saw the portrait - in my head I looked a lot worse.
'I wad the first one to have my picture taken and I think Bryan was worried about offending me when he asked me to take my shorts off.
'But as a former marine I'm not scared of getting naked in public.
'I was a bit gutted though I was wearing rubbish pants.
'They were just from a M&S box set and I just wish I'd worn my Calvin Kleins!
'At least they weren't see-through.'
