Prince Harry shows off surprising skill in unexpected new clip

Prince Harry has learned a new skill thanks to a thoughtful Christmas gift from his wife Meghan Markle.

As it turns out, the royal is a prince, husband, father, and most recently... a talented surfer! The Duke of Sussex attended a surf lesson in Lemoore, California, courtesy of Meghan, where he caught a massive wave.

Video footage shared by Surf Ranch instructor Raimana Van Bastolaer shows the father-of-two getting up on a surfboard, and successfully riding a wave out until the end with verbal encouragement from Bastolaer behind the camera.

As the prince perfectly executes the technique, Raimana praises him for a job well done.

Raimana shared the footage to his personal Instagram page, giving Prince Harry a kind shout-out.

"In tahiti, we still call you Prince harry but at surfranch, it’s my Brother,. It was an honor to have you surf."

Earlier this month, Harry gave a speech at the WellChild Awards in London and opened up to media personnel about his family, praising Meghan for the great genes she passed down to both their children.

"Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother's thick hair, he told us, self- effacingly, as he marveled that it won't be long until Lili can sit on hers," Vokes-Dudgeon of Hello! Magazine reported.
