Protect the royal jewels.
Prince Harry was stepped on by goats during a playful yoga session at his final public appearance before concluding his week-long trip to the UK.
The Duke of Sussex appeared in good spirits as the farm animals swarmed around him during the Scotty’s Little Soldiers festivals in Warwickshire, about 80 miles north-west of London, on Saturday.
One goat even jumped on his groin area and Harry laughed off the mishap before covering his private area with his hands.
Harry, 41, was instructed to lie on the ground to allow the animals, including six nanny goats and their many kids, to trample him.
The “Spare” author was a good sport about the whole ordeal and didn’t appear to mind getting his hands dirty while wearing a blue button-up and slacks at the outing, which supports children who have lost a parent in the military service.
He was encouraged to “feel that goat” within him and “embody the balance of goats,” per the Telegraph.
Harry was later seen feeding and petting the goats alongside an estimated 200 kids and their families.
“Do you feel connected? Are they supposed to jump on your back?” he asked the children, before later asking other participants, “Do you like goats, or have you now got goat phobia?”
The royal embraced his playful side, engaging in a water balloon fight during an inflatable obstacle course.
At one point, Harry was struck in the face with one water balloon and jokingly told the boy responsible, “What’s your name? I’ll remember you,” per the outlet.
Harry ended his trip across the pond on a light note after staying busy since landing in London on Monday to promote the 2027 Invictus Games, which are set to occur in Birmingham.
He arrived in the UK alone without his wife, Meghan Markle, or their two kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, after being denied taxpayer-funded security.
However, Harry’s business trip took a turn for the better, as he found a way to get the Duchess of Sussex, 44, and their kids to London safely.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that Harry and the “Suits” actress were able to reunite their family with King Charles III and Queen at Highgrove House on Friday.
It’s been over four years since the king, 77, has seen his grandkids at Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
Photos of the family’s private meeting won’t be released.
