Super Bowl singer insists Prince Harry was 'just lovely' as the pair share sweet hug

Mickey Guyton, the US musician who opened the recent Super Bowl, said the Duke Of Sussex was 'just lovely' after she spent some time with him at the showpiece American football game.

The grammy-nominated country star gave a powerful rendition of the US national anthem prior to the Los Angeles Rams' late 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Following her stellar performance, Mickey gushed over Prince Harry as she shared a sweet snap of the pair having a cuddle.

"I met Prince Harry. He was just lovely. I even curtsied in my track suit," the musician gushed.

Pictures of him and royal cousin Princess Eugenie watching the game at the SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California, emerged online as some fans accused Harry of 'looking bored' as he watched the 2022 Super Bowl.

The prince, who now lives in the US, took in the game between Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals - and the eagerly anticipated half-time show featuring Dr Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige, Kendrick Lamar and surprise guest 50 Cent.

Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie have remained close friends since the Duke of Sussex decided to up sticks and move his life to the US with wife Meghan Markle.

Harry and Meghan moved to Montecito in LA in 2020 after dramatically quitting the UK and share Archie, two, and eight month-old Lilibet.

During the couple's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March last year, Meghan revealed that she actually knew the princess before meeting her now-husband.

She told the presenter: "Eugenie and I had known each other before I had known Harry, so that was comfortable. We're friends with them as a couple."

Eugenie now has a one-year-old son called August and a source close to the royal family told PEOPLE how the children had helped keep the bond between them.

The source said at the time: "These times tend to bring families together. What is lovely is Eugenie having her baby as Harry and Meghan are having theirs. They are very close."
