Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry could barely hold it together as a teenage boy dropped the F-bomb during a visit to a Bristol theatre yesterday.
The straight-speaking teen told the royal couple: ‘You can’t just be f***ing around on stage,’ as he talked about his experiences of being on stage at the Bristol Old Vic.
While Meghan burst out laughing, Harry bent his knees and made a funny face at the comment.
However, the royal couple didn’t appear to take the slip up too seriously, and the boy continued his explaining.

The pair were taken on a tour of the theatre by artistic director Tom Morris.
They enjoyed an exhibition of the history of sound in the theatre and watched on as young people demonstrated how the industry has progressed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also watched on as a theatre group rehearsed lines from King Lear.
Meghan told them ‘you were great by the way’ before asking how they all got into the art.
They then watched as the Bristol Old Vic Young Company performed a song from Hercules.
The couple visited the theatre to unveil a plaque to commemorate the newly refurbished building.
Meghan was announced as patron of the National Theatre. The Queen previously held the post for 45 years.
