Prince Harry arrived in Toronto on 2 May to mark the official countdown to Invictus Toronto, which will take place in September 2017.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted on taking a picture of Prince Harry with a fellow redhead, his photographer Adam Scotti.

Adam later tweeted the snap, captioning it: "I don't ever ask for a photo, but the PM took my camera and insisted on taking a photo of two #gingers #cdnpoli".
