At a charity dinner given by actor Kevin Costner to benefit Santa Barbara's first responders, Prince Harry got into a hilarious mix-up.
On September 20, while playing at the One805!Live event, American musician Richard Marx almost missed the opportunity to encounter Harry, who was waiting to congratulate him.
As Marx departed the stage, someone off-camera guided him with the words, "Richard, Prince Harry," which resulted in a jovial conversation in which the Duke of Sussex commended him with a happy "well done" before shaking hands.
Daisy Fuentes, Richard's wife, shared the occasion on social media, and it took a hilarious turn when she erroneously tagged the Prince and Princess of Wales' Instagram accounts in her post, underlining the uncertainty surrounding the royal siblings.
It's a reminder of how easily royal identities may be muddled up, especially when the spotlight is shining brightly!
In addition to socializing with famous guests, Harry appeared on stage at the charity event to deliver a poignant award.
He recognized Santa Barbara County air support pilot Loren Courtney, who has 22 years of military service and over 10,000 flying hours.
During the lecture, he asked Loren to share a memorable experience from his work.
The pilot described a thrilling search-and-rescue mission in Colorado, when his crew confronted enormous hurdles in rescuing a group of skiers, one of whom had sustained a severe head injury.
