Prince Harry made a rare TV appearance on September 26, screaming and laughing his way through a haunted house with Jimmy Fallon.

The royal, who had completed a week of events in New York City for his patronages, became the first guest to join Jimmy in the all-new haunted maze called Jimmy's ToNightmares, which is open to the public for a limited time this Halloween season.

The segment saw Harry and Jimmy make their way through the house with cameras strapped to their chests, capturing every swear and scare that came from their mouths.

In one comical moment, the Duke wondered if one of the haunted figures was his friend, Michael Buble.

“Is that Michael Buble? Good job buddy,” Harry said.  Watch the moment here:

Later, hidden cameras revealed several of the actors in shock as they realized that it was Prince Harry whom they had terrified, while at the end of the experience, Harry pretended to throw a punch after being frightened by an actor who popped up behind him.

"Step into a haunted maze experience like no other with Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares! For a limited time, Rockefeller Center is home to ten spine-chilling rooms that bring Jimmy’s nightmares to life," the maze's website reads.

"As you venture through each meticulously crafted area, prepare to encounter an array of sinister characters— run from a deranged and diabolical mad scientist, malfunctioning murder robots, a terrifying werewolf, and other nightmarish creatures. Each room is more horrifying than the last, with unnerving surprises lurking around every corner."

The Jimmy Fallon Show films in New York City, where Harry has been this past week as he takes part in a series of engagements for his patronages and philanthropic initiatives, including Travalyst and Archewell Foundation's Parents Network.

At one event, he spoke passionately about protecting young children from the internet, sharing that his phone's lockscreen is a picture of his son and daughter, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Taking out his phone as he walked out onstage at the end of a 90-minute session entitled Everything Everywhere All At Once, he said: "My lock screen is a picture of my kids. What's yours?"

Photos of young people shown as images on mobile phone lock screens appeared on the large screen behind him and he movingly told the audience how these children had all died "too soon and all because of social media," and that they were the inspiration for the Archewell Foundation's Parents Network, a support network for parents of children affected by online harm.

The royal also appeared at an event with The Halo Trust on Monday, which works to clear landmines and other explosive devices left behind by conflicts, and Travalyst, a program that aims to explore and improve conservation efforts at tourist destinations around the world.

He was joined on stage by Aditi Mohapatra, Vice President of Global Social Impact and Sustainability at the Expedia Group, and Aditi told HELLO! how impressed she was by the Duke's commitment to use his platform for good.

"We were able to have a bit of a meet and greet with him, and his support and leadership for this organization is just so amazing," she told HELLO! after the panel, adding that Harry's willingness to publicly support the campaign "really provides the right kind of visibility" and offers "the right kind of leadership that we need" to "encourage action from the top".

The Jimmy Fallon Show airs on NBC at 11.35pm ET. You can watch it on Peacock the following day.
