King Charles gave fans a laugh after one asked him an awkward question about his son Prince Harry.
The monarch was greeted by students at the University of East London when one called out: “Can you bring back Harry?”
The King hilariously fired back with just one word – “Who?” – after mishearing the name, The Sun reports.
When he finally connected the dots, he burst into laughter with the students.
The monarch visited the university on Wednesday to mark its 125th anniversary and the opening of a new frontline medical teaching hub in London.
The exchange came amid doubts over Harry and Meghan‘s attendance at the new King’s upcoming coronation.
Insiders have claimed the Duke of Sussex may arrive without his wife in a brief 48-hour visit.
The plan – dubbed ‘Harry in a hurry’ – would see him make a swift appearance at the event on May 6.
But Meghan would stay at home to celebrate Archie’s fourth birthday, The Mail reported on Sunday.
This comes as the royal family continues to reel from the revelations in Prince Harry’s memoir Spare and the Sussexes’ tell-all Netflix bombshells including his fight with Prince William.
He alleged that he was attacked by his brother, and accused the Queen Consort of leaking stories to the press.
It has only added fuel to the fire of his stormy relationships with his family – but Harry admitted he would still like to see his father be crowned.
He said during his interview with Tom Bradby: “There’s a lot that can happen between now and then.
“But, the door is always open. The ball is in their court.
“There’s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”
Royal sources hinted that peace talks could be on the cards in the coming months to stop the feud overshadowing the coronation.
Meanwhile, other insiders suggest the couple will likely be invited and there is a “working assumption” they will be there.
One official involved in coronation planning, told The Sun: “They will definitely be invited, and we are working on the assumption that they will come.”
The guestlist has been drawn up by the palace but in close consultation with Downing Street and the UK Foreign Office – with scores of foreign royals and leaders all expected to attend.
The special bank holiday weekend will see a series of processions and the King appearing on the Buckinham Palace balcony twice.
After the service, the newly crowned King and Queen Consort will take part in a large ceremonial parade known as the Coronation Procession.
It is not clear what role Harry and Meghan would have, should they attend, because they are non-working royals.
