Prince Harry suffered an embarrassing moment on US TV when the top fact Americans knew about him was that he is married to Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, who lives in Montecito, California, was chosen as the subject matter in a round of Family Feud hosted by Steve Harvey.
The games show, which has been airing since 1976, sees two families competing for a cash prize by naming the most popular responses to survey questions that have been posed to 100 members of the public.
In the latest episode, the Hernandez family went head-to-head with the Colleys – and were tasked with providing the six most well-known facts about the Duke of Sussex, who has been living in the US since 2020.

At the beginning of the round, Harvey invited one member from each team to approach the podium and informed them this round was about Prince Harry.
The first person to get an answer right would then pass the baton back to their family, who have a chance to guess the remaining survey questions to win the round.
Within two seconds, Fabian Hernandez hit his buzzer and answered: “He’s married to Meghan Markle.”
Unimpressed by this response, the games show host said: “Come on, boy!”

However, the board confirmed this answer was, in fact, the most common fact the US population knew about the duke.
Once Fabian was back with his team, Sofia Hernandez correctly guessed that Harry being a prince was another survey answer.
This proved to be the fourth most popular fact out of the six.
After this, Robert Hernandez said: “I don’t know much about him but I know [he’s] got money.”
Unfortunately for the team, Prince Harry’s wealth was not one of the most common responses, which earned the Hernandez family their first strike.
Each team is allowed three in total before it is passed on to their rivals.
Next, Marisa Hernandez guessed Prince William being Prince Harry’s brother would be another popular survey answer, which also did not feature.
Kristina Hernandez then suggested that most people would know Prince Harry is the son of Princess Diana – which was the second most common answer on the board, below his marriage to Meghan.

Following this train of thought, Fabian put forward Prince Harry’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, earning the Hernandez family their third strike.
Once the round was passed over to the Colley family, Drake immediately put forward Prince Harry’s ginger hair, which was the third most popular fact Americans knew about the duke.
This correct answer won the Colley family the round.
