Prince Harry has been pictured for the first time on his highly-anticipated trip to the UK.
Just hours after landing in Britain, the Duke of Sussex, 41, attended the premiere of Shoot the People at Picturehouse Central in London for the first stop of his five-day visit.
He was supporting his close friend, photographer and filmmaker Misan Harriman, who features in the new documentary directed by Andy Mundy-Castle. At the premiere, Harry posed for photos alongside Misan, Andy, and journalist Afua Hirsch.
Harry landed in the UK late last night, his spokesperson confirmed, and wasn't joined by his wife, Meghan Markle, or children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.

They added that he was in "good form" and is "happy" to be back in the UK.
Misan has been close to Harry and Meghan for many years, famously photographing their announcement that they were expecting Lilibet back in 2021.
He also captured Harry and Meghan's daughter on her first birthday in the gardens of Frogmore Cottage.
The Duke’s first scheduled event for his return to the UK will be an Invictus Games Foundation conference at Chatham House on Tuesday afternoon, as part of the One Year to Go celebrations for the Games being held in Birmingham in 2027.
Prince Harry expecting ruling in ANL case
The Duke of Sussex is also set to discover the result of his High Court case against the Daily Mail’s publisher as he returns to the UK.
Harry will be in the UK when the judgment is published on Tuesday afternoon, after an 11-week trial earlier this year in his claim against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over alleged unlawful information gathering.

ANL strongly denies the claims and defended the case, saying it "has established a complete defence to all parts of the claims on the merits" and that the cases have been brought too late.
Judge Mr Justice Nicklin will give his written ruling on the case via email at 2pm.
Will Prince Harry be staying at Buckingham Palace?
It comes as Harry’s accommodation arrangements for his UK visit descended into chaos, ahead of five days of appearances in London and Birmingham, including marking the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games.
The Duke will not stay at Buckingham Palace during his return, with his spokesman saying on Monday that it was "disappointing" the offer from the King had been "withdrawn at the last moment", with the looming judgment given as the reason.
© InstagramHELLO! understands that the Duke initially turned down the offer for himself and his family, who are no longer accompanying him to London, on Saturday, before making a U-turn later in the day and asking to stay himself.
The appropriate hospitality and staffing provision was said to be no longer available, with Buckingham Palace also believing the longstanding legal case had complicated the matter, and could compromise the King’s constitutional position.
It is said that while every effort was made to facilitate Harry’s stay, as a courtesy to staff and others involved, the Royal Household requires a minimum level of notice to ensure he could be hosted appropriately at a royal residence.
The Duke wanted to stay at the Palace for just one night, HELLO! understands.
Questions have been raised on the Sussex side as to whether the offer of a bed at a royal residence was ever intended to be available once Harry had accepted it.
He is said to have acted in good faith throughout the process, spending most of last week making alternative arrangements before formally accepting the offer for himself – for a single night.
Private conversations are said to have taken place between the Duke and his father King Charles.
