The 33-year-old royal is set to use the opportunity to shine a light on a series of different issues, including youth violence and conservation.

A spokesman for Kensington Palace said: "Prince Harry is grateful to have Today's considerable reach to shine a spotlight on a number of issues that are close to his heart.

"He is working closely with Today's team to produce segments on a range of topics, including youth violence, conservation, and mental health."

Rumours of the Prince's appearance on the show have been circling for months.

And in accepting the invitation, the flame-haired royal becomes the latest in an increasingly long list of famous faces who have guest edited the respected programme.

Others who have enjoyed the honour include the likes of Stephen Hawking and Lord Sebastian Coe.

Meanwhile, an expert recently claimed that Prince Harry's girlfriend, Meghan Markle, is set to be a "great ambassador" for the Royal Family.

The American actress has been dating Prince Harry since mid-2016, and with an engagement believed to be on the cards, sources have claimed the star will "bring millions" to the UK economy for clothing and homeware brands, with Brits keen to look and live like the brunette beauty.

David Haigh, CEO from Brand Finance, recently said: "Although it is difficult to speculate about numbers, it can be expected that Ms Markle will join the Duchess of Cambridge as a great ambassador of the monarchy, especially in her native United States and in Canada where she has recently lived."
