Speaking about her pups in her engagement interview, she said: "I have two dogs that I've had for quite a long time, both my rescue pups. And one is now staying with very close friends and my other little guy is - yes he's in the UK, he's been here for a while... I think he's doing just fine."

During his visit, he was about whether England would win the semi-final against Croatia in the World Cup. When asked by a reporter if football was coming home, he said: "Most definitely!" Harry previously joked that he didn't want to jinx the match by saying the phrase. Brian O'Driscoll said: "I think he just said he isn't as confident as everyone else about England winning... He said he won't say it because he doesn't want to jinx it."
