Durban welcomes Prince Harry
Updated | By ECR Newswatch
Britain's Prince Harry has arrived at Growth Point Kings Park in Durban this morning where he is attending a youth development clinic.
Prince Harry was welcomed to the stadium by Sharks CEO John Smit.
He then donned the Cell C Sharks training kit and began playing rugby with the children.
12-year-old Siyabonga Gumede says he is looking forward to sharing the field with royalty.

The young scrumhalf's family did not believe him at first.
''My family didn't believe me when I told them I would be meeting Prince Harry. I knew that I was going to see him. They don't even know that I'm here,'' he said.
Prince Harry is on the second day of an official visit to South Africa.
He met Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in Cape Town yesterday.
