Updated: Mar 1
The Duke of Sussex joined the cast of hit musical Hamilton on stage in London's West End, on Wednesday 29 August 2018.
The Prince was joined by his wife at the charity performance in aid of one of of his longtime charities, Sentebale which helps children affected by HIV in southern Africa.
They attended a charity performance at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London accompanied by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show’s creator.
Afterwards the duke joined the cast on stage and broke into mock-song, briefly assuming the role of King George III, his sixth great-grandfather!
Hamilton has been described as the most popular and influential musical for a generation, it tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, the US Founding Father & features King George III as the comic character.
Proceeds from the play go to the charity, which was set up in 2006 by Harry & his friend, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006.
The charity aims to help vulnerable children in Lesotho & Botswana who are affected by AIDS & HIV get the support they need to lead healthy & productive lives.
