See what happens when royalty meets pop royalty | PHOTOS

Prince Harry might have grown up surrounded by royalty, but until this week he hasn’t really been in the presence of true pop royalty.

Just recently, Harry fulfilled what was surely a lifelong wish – to meet the Queen of Pop, Rihanna. And, it wasn’t just a one-off – the pair actually met twice in the same day.

The prince, who is currently on a tour of the Caribbean, met RiRi for the first time at an afternoon event in Barbados.

It’s said the prince’s first words to Rihanna were frightfully British: ‘Hello, it’s very nice to meet you.’

Later that same day, the pair sat next to each other on stage at a concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of the country’s independence. And they couldn’t contain their laughter.
