Prince Harry seen chatting to Hollyoaks star who played stripper in a racy spin-off and posed in a PVC bodysuit
PRINCE Harry today chatted to a Hollyoaks actress as he waited for Meghan Markle to arrive at the Invictus games.
The Duke of Sussex was snapped speaking with Beth Herlihy, who previously played a stripper in a racy Hollyoaks spin-off, at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf.
Ms Herlihy is also a former model – who once posed in a PVC body suit back in 2012.
But in 2016 she was hired as an events manager with the Royal Foundation and began working with the Sussexes.
Despite Meghan and Harry’s split from the foundation in 2018, Ms Herlihy has appeared to stay friends with the couple.
Today she smiled as she spoke to Prince Harry at the TRA/Rehabilitation Expo during day three of the games.
The Prince appeared to be in an excited mood while watching competitors in the wheelchair basketball from the sideline.
Harry and Ms Herlihy’s chat came as Meghan touched down briefly in the UK before heading to Germany.
The Duchess of Sussex was later pictured arriving in Dusseldorf – heading to the Hyatt Regency with Prince Harry.
And tonight she joined Harry at a reception for 1,600 athletes and their friends and family.
Their children, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, remain in the US.
German media outlets have reported that the Duchess will deliver a “very emotional” closing speech during the farewell ceremony.
The Invictus Games, for disabled military veterans, features a host of different sports and challenges and are due to last a week.
Across the pond, Meghan’s sister-in-law Princess Kate has been busy at a Royal engagement – visiting inmates in prison who are struggling with addiction.
Kate donned a navy power suit to tour HMP High Down in Surrey – but caught the eye of many with the skin-coloured plasters wrapped around her fingers.
The Princess of Wales appeared in a good mood as she headed to the prison, supporting inmates as patron of The Forward Trust ahead of Addiction Awareness Week.
