The popstar served as Best Man when Robin, and his mum, Anne, married in 2013.

He said: "I practised on my own for days beforehand, on the sofa reciting it to myself. I tried to make it have a bit of everything."

It has been well chronicled that Harry had a close relationship with his stepdad, and our thoughts are with the family at this time.
