AceShowbiz - Prince Harry showcased his musical ability when he and wife Meghan Markle attended the performance of "Hamilton" at Victoria Palace Theatre in London on Wednesday, August 29. The Duke of Sussex briefly sang "You'll Be Back" onstage at the end of the performance, and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda apparently loved his singing skill.
Harry initially took the stage only to only thank those in attendance, but he decided to treat them to something extra special as he sang a few bars from the song. "You say...," he crooned as the crowd cheered, prompting him to stop. Lin-Manuel, who stood beside him, could be seen stomping his feet with excitement after hearing the royal's deep baritone voice.
"Ladies and gentleman, thank you so much. Thank you to Cameron Mackintosh productions, to the show's creator Thomas Kail and of course Lin-Manuel Miranda, the cast and crew," Harry said afterward.
"And as already mentioned, a round of applause for yourselves for taking part in this evening's activities because you have together, raised a huge amount of money to change the lives of thousands of children in Botswana," he continued. "Through that work that we're going to be doing now - we will be able to stop the generational hand down of the stigma around HIV."
"You say..."

Thank you to the cast and crew of @HamiltonWestEnd for a fantastic performance, raising awareness and funds for @Sentebale's work with children and young people affected by HIV #HamiltonLDNpic.twitter.com/M5hmjTfhEz
The "Hamilton" performance in London was a special event which was held to help raise money for Sentebale, the charity Harry co-founded with Prince Seelso of Lesotho. The organization aims to provide support to children affected by HIV, AIDS and extreme poverty in Botswana and Lesotho.
While this might be Harry's first time watching the performance, Meghan already saw the play in New York with her close friend Priyanka Chopra back in 2016, before she deleted her Instagram account. The "Suits" alum posted a photo of her and the Indian actress posing with a playbill from the show.
