Comedian Adam Hills has met Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace and received praise for his beard.

The Last Leg presenter was at the Palace on the day that the Rugby League World Cup draw was being made by the Prince, who chatted to Hills about rugby and complimented him on the "manicured" middle section of his beard, before suggesting that he might appear on Channel 4's The Last Leg.

Hill has been growing the beard during the Brexit negotiations and has said that he will shave it off once the UK leaves Europe.

Earlier in the week Hills had to clarify on social media that he had not just climbed Mount Everest after he posted a picture of himself on Instagram with a white background and joked that he was on the world's highest mountain. After his tweet started receiving congratulations from impressed fans he explained that in fact he was merely in Warrington in north west England where he plays rugby for Warrington Wolves in the Physical Disability Rugby League.
