England rugby fan Prince Harry writes off Wales' chances of a Six Nations Grand Slam
Prince Harry was teased about England's loss to Wales during a Royal visit in Morocco

It's not just the bookmakers who don't fancy Wales going on to complete a Six Nations Grand Slam next month.... neither, it seems, does Prince Harry!
The avid England fan, who is patron of the RFU, met up with Eddie Jones' squad last week in a star-studded charity event at Kensington Palace.
Prince Harry missed making the trip down the M4 to the Principality Stadium on the weekend where England's Grand Slam dream turned into a second-half nightmare in losing to Wales 21-13.
He was engaged elsewhere being on a royal visit to Morocco with the Duchess of Sussex.
But it didn't stop him writing off Wales' chances of a third Grand Slam under Warren Gatland's watch. Not even record 12th successive Welsh win could convince the Royal that they will complete a whitewash.
The Mirror Online report the Prince responding to Irishman Russell McCaugey, who Harry and the Duchess of Sussex met while visiting.
The 63-year-old gave a quick sporting dig during the meeting.
McCaugey, from Bangor, Northern Ireland, jokingly called out saying: "No Grand Slam this year Harry!"

Harry, who had earlier watched the game on TV, smiled and yelled back: "I don't think there'll be one for anyone this year."
The bookmakers agree making Wales only second favourites to go on and win the Six Nations title behind England despite being the only unbeaten country left in the tournament.

And the bookies also have no Grand Slam this season as their shortest odds with Wales still having to play Scotland at Murrayfield as well as hosting 2018 champions Ireland on the final weekend.
