Prince Harry watched as Leicester Tigers turned a 14-0 early deficit into a 38-31 victory over Gloucester in a Gallagher Prem clash at Welford Road, according to the Independent.

Gloucester led after ten minutes, but Leicester, reduced to 14 men following Billy Searle’s yellow card, rallied with tries from forwards Finn Carnduff, Joe Heyes, Jamie Blamire and Aaron Wainwright, plus a late finish by Ollie Hassell‑Collins.

Leicester coach Geoff Parling said the team had not started games well this season but praised their defensive pressure and carrying after the win.

Harry’s image was shown on the stadium screen and was reportedly booed by some spectators, though he remained seated among the crowd.
