Prince Harry met the students while he was visiting the Para Arena training center in Tokyo, where he also spent time with Paralympic hopefuls ahead of the rugby final. His visit, including the interaction with the school children, was featured in a four-minute video posted to the Royal Family’s Family Channel on Twitter. Most of the video features Harry speaking with athletes and posing for pictures, with the Duke’s visit to the Para Arena training center no surprise. The Duke started the Invictus Games in 2014, an international sporting event that centers around nine sporting events that have all been adapted to include wounded or injured veterans or members of the armed services.The official Instagram account for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also posted a picture of Harry with the students and athletes at the training center, pointing out that Japan will become the first country to host two Paralypmic Games when Tokyo welcomes 4,000 athletes in 2020.The Duke of Sussex meets Paralympic hopefuls in Tokyo ahead of rugby finalHe warmed up for the Rugby World Cup final at a training session for would be Japanese Paralympians and discovered that one or two of them were rooting for England's opponents. #PrinceHarry #Tokyo pic.twitter.com/eXxeXAFhUt

Later in the day, Harry watched England lose to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup, sharing his thoughts on Instagram. Writing that ‘tonight was not England’s night,’ Harry congratulated his native country’s players before applauding the South African team. “To the whole of South Africa - rugby unites all of us in more ways than we can imagine, and tonight I have no doubt that it will unite all of you,” says Harry, who adds that following his recent trip to Africa with wife Meghan and son Archie, “I can’t think of a nation that deserves it more. Well done and enjoy!”Always a class act. And handsome. Always handsome as well.
