The 29-year-old said his tour of Brazil in 2012 was "emotional"

The visit was part of Harry's first solo tour which he revealed had been an "emotional" experience.

"I had a half-hour conversation with her [the Queen] before we came out where she wished me luck," said Harry as the visit drew to an end. "We had a great chat, she said "enjoy it, I hope you do me proud" – it was a typical grandmother to grandson chat.

"I tell you what, it’s been an emotional trip," he added. "I’m absolutely exhausted but the warmth of the reception that we’ve received from every single country that we’ve been to has been amazing."
