He’s been known to show off his torso in public, so perhaps it’s no surprise Prince Harry is on a diet. 

At David Beckham’s charity match at Old Trafford last week, the Prince turned down all offers of food, would drink only water, and when hunger pangs struck, asked his aide to make him a chocolate protein shake.
