Prince Harry was left shocked after receiving a shockingly inappropriate gift by the Australian team at the Invictus Games.

At the Invictus Games in Vancouver, the 40-year-old Duke of Sussex enjoyed a lighthearted exchange with the team, continuing a playful and longstanding tradition.

Meghan Markle took to her Instagram stories to share a clip of his reaction to receiving the playful gift, a Speedo, also known as "budgie smugglers" in Australia.

The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex humorously wrote over the clip, "And Team Australia, you’ve done it again!"

When being handed the inappropriate and tiny piece of clothing, the Prince jokingly expressed, "So inappropriate! I love it. Thank you so much.”

This cheeky moment recalled back to the previous Invictus Games, where an Australian athlete requested the Duke to sign a pair of his speedos during the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney.

Back then, being a good sport, he quipped that he would be glad to sign them if the athlete wore them on head. However, restricted by the royal protocol, he couldn’t sign the garment.

But this year, the Australian team had a work around, as they made sure that Prince Harry received his own souvenir, and presented him with a fresh pair.
