Prince Harry has been back on Royal duty - carrying out his first public engagement since he and his wife Meghan announced they want to step back as full-time Royals.

The Duke of Sussex hosted the Rugby League World Cup 2021 draw at Buckingham Palace overnight, meeting with representatives of the 21 nations taking part and local children playing rugby.

The Duchess remains in Canada with the couple's son Archie as talks continue about their future position in the Royal family.
