Prince Harry strutting onto a football field in Canada has gone viral as he was praised for his "clear conscience."
The Duke of Sussex watched Toronto win the Grey Cup and gave an interview about his Invictus Game tournament for wounded veterans over the weekend.
One fan picked up on his walk as he stepped out onto the field, editing it to the hit song "The Boss" by James Brown in a viral video on X.
The post read: "The Prince with a clear conscience, the one who didn't appear in dispatches for 'scamming' public services &charities. The one who's taking Murdoch to court.
"The Prince who pays his taxes. The one tabloids tell you he's the enemy. The only Windsor with a backbone. #PrinceHarry."
The footage was liked 9.1k times and viewed 430k times and one reply read: "H stands head and shoulders above the rest of the RF simply by being a good human."

— Claire (@claireXanda) November 18, 2024The duke is seen by supporters as the royal who stood up for his wife, took on the press who killed his mother and called out the failings of the monarchy.
However, critics view him as the royal who betrayed his family, heaping criticism on King Charles III even as he lost his father Prince Philip in 2021 and in the aftermath of the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022.
Harry himself has suggested he wants relations with his family to improve, but he has also indicated he wants them to apologize to Meghan.
In the aftermath of the publication of his book, Spare, he gave an interview to friend and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon of U.K. broadsheet The Daily Telegraph.
"Now you could argue that some of the stuff I've put in there, well, they will never forgive me anyway," he said.
"But the way I see it is, I'm willing to forgive you for everything you've done, and I wish you'd actually sat down with me, properly, and instead of saying I'm delusional and paranoid, actually sit down and have a proper conversation about this, because what I'd really like is some accountability. And an apology to my wife."
Prince Harry has ongoing lawsuits against the British press and government, which have the potential to impact his family relationships.
