Prince Harry performed an act as a ventriloquist’s dummy at the Queen’s 90th birthday party, it has been revealed.
The 31-year-old took to the stage for a short cabaret during the after-dinner entertainment at the celebration in Windsor Castle last week, Hello! magazine reported.
The prince performed with ventriloquist Nina Conti.
He was the “dummy” for ventriloquist Nina Conti, daughter of actor Tom Conti, whose puppets include a deadpan monkey called Monk.
A source told Hello! that Harry was “genuinely brilliant” and must have been practising because his actions were in time with Conti’s words.
Heir to the throne the Prince of Wales organised the black tie dinner – a lavish party for 71 family and close friends held in the castle’s Waterloo Chamber – for his mother to mark her milestone birthday.
The Queen marked her 90th birthday last week.
The Queen’s cousin, Margaret Rhodes, told Hello!: “The Queen looked very marvellous and very happy.”
