And ahead of the final day of events, the Duke of Sussex headed to Irish pub, O'Casey's, with a group of friends where he enjoyed a pint of Guinness. However, the royal made sure to limit himself to just the one alcoholic beverage as he sipped on lemonade for the rest of the evening. This seems to be the norm for the Duke, as pub owner John Gulay said the royal told him: "One pint, that's it. I stick to one pint and then I'll move to lemonade."

John even said that Harry was offered a round of tequila shots, but he turned them down and said they should be given to other patrons in the bar.

The Duke was reportedly in the pub for an hour and a half before heading off for dinner at a different venue. However, John decided against charging Harry even when the royal offered to pay.

Following his night-out, Harry joined up with King Willem‑Alexander where they watched Team USA clinch the gold medal in the wheelchair basketball.

"Then along came Meghan, and she saw the medal around my neck and asked what it was for. She just gave me this great big hug! She was in a beautiful dress, cream-coloured and just didn't care – she came in for the smelliest and sweatiest hug possible! It was fantastic."
