The 31-year-old royal and England rugby's golden boy had cameos in the short movie made about the sport's origins and 14-year-old Ed Anthony - who played a young William Webb Ellis who invented rugby in 1823 - said the pair looked like firm friends.

He said: "All this has been incredible fun and getting the chance to be with Prince Harry and Jonny was quite something - they get on so well, there's always banter between them.

He added: "Although I wouldn't want to be a royal, I now know what a difficult job they do and I have huge respect for them."

It was a dream role for the youngster but Ed revealed after 20 takes of the scene, where he runs past Prince Harry who plays a gardner, the royal spotted that he was exhausted and called time on filming.

Ed told The Daily Telegraph: "Towards the end I was getting tired as I had the run-up to get my speed going and the wind-down.

"Prince Harry noticed and asked the director if I could have a breather which was so nice of him."
