Prince Harry has showed off an array of sporting skills on his royal tour of the Caribbean thus far, having a go at cricket, tennis, golf and volleyball since commencing the royal state visit on Sunday (20 November).

The redheaded prince – who will spend the 14 days apart from his new girlfriend, Suits actress Meghan Markle – flashed his boxer shorts and bare stomach today (21 November) as he jumped up during a playful volleyball match at a youth sports festival at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

The active prince, 32, appeared in his element as he got stuck in with several games on his second day of the tour, which aimed to exhibit Antigua and Barbuda's national sports.

Harry, in upbeat spirits, jovially mixed with the crowd and was spotted high-fiving a young cricket player at the sporting event. He also happily posed for photographs after meeting and greeting a bunch of adoring school girls before joking around with some pro boxers.

Prepared to get his hands dirty for the daytime engagement, Harry was casually dressed in some grey suede trainers which he paired with some comfortable navy chinos and a blue shirt. He also wore the same blue and white love beads which he has been wearing of late, which were first spotted on 35-year-old Markle in September earlier this year.
