Prince Harry is following in his wife’s footsteps by doing something millions of us do every day, without fail.
Yes, he just closed his own car door.
It turns out it’s not the ‘done thing’ for royals who normally have some protection officer or close aid to do the challenging job for them.
Meghan shocked the nation last year when she showed everyone she has biceps and wasn’t afraid to use them on her first solo engagement as the Duchess of Sussex.
Royal minders prefer to have staff shut car doors for ‘security reasons’, but Harry showed his fearlessness today as he arrived in uniform at a Royal Marine base in Devon.
Arriving at the 42 Commando base in Bickleigh, Harry stepped out of his car, and then shut it behind him.
Since assuming the role of Captain General Royal Marines from Prince Philip in December 2017, he has visited new recruits and recently met marines training in Norway.
During that visit on Valentine’s Day, Harry was treated to framed pictures from his wedding day, as well as candles and soft music, in a tiny makeshift igloo.
At the base today, Harry saw marines jump out of a Merlin helicopter and simulating the rescue of an F35 pilot from the new HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier.
Harry will then travel to Dartmoor, where he will meet members of the Commando Training Centre and see a recruit troop finishing their final test.
This Commando Test, a 30-mile march, starts at the north end of Dartmoor and finishes near Plymouth.
It involves carrying around 40lbs of equipment and must be completed within eight hours.
Harry will salute recruits finishing the test and present their coveted Green Berets to them – symbolically marking the completion of their commando training.
Major General Charlie Stickland, Commandant General Royal Marines, described the visit as ‘fantastic’.
‘Having him as Captain General, handed over from his beloved grandfather, is brilliant,’ he said.
‘What we are doing this first year is getting him to know the Royal Marines.
‘It is great for him to come and understand how this specialist unit operates.’
