Two worlds collided this week as the Stellenbosch Choir got to meet the Duke of Sussex in Japan, for the ISPS Sports Values Summit-Special Edition event.
The event saw the meeting of sports enthusiasts, community leaders and philanthropists, to the soundtrack of arguably the best, and certainly the oldest and most established, university choir in the Western Cape.
Attending in his role of co-founder for Sentebale, a Lesotho charity that is all about supporting young peoples’ dreams, Prince Harry made one more dream come true with a touching group hug with the Stellenbosch choral group.
The special moment was captured on camera, as Prince Harry confesses to being a “big fan” of the award-winning group of singers.

Safe to say, it’s not just Harry who was the biggest fanboy at the event, as the Stellenbosch choir conductor André van der Merwe beamed and gushed at the popular royal family member.
Say what you want about Harry and his public drama, the clip has many South Africans warming to the duke, with one TikTok comment from user Kordarro Davis summing it up as:
“Prince Harry’s ability to make people feel comfortable is unmatched. Everyone always speaks highly of his personality because he knows how to connect with any and everyone. That’s a rare trait to have.”
