Prince Harry asked Amanda Holden if her fellow Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan was really a prat.

Holden claimed the Prince enquired about the former newspaper editor after they met at a gala night marking the Prince of Wales' 60th birthday.

"Prince Harry came over and said to me, 'Is Piers Morgan really a prat?' I said, 'You can't say that but yes',” Holden told Heat.

"He even told me he records Britain's Got Talent every week."

Holden also revealed that Prince Charles had confessed to being a fan of the talent competition when they met at the event.

"Charles came over to me and said, 'Oh you do the show with the buzzers, don't you?' I said, 'Yes, I didn't even know you watched the telly,” she said.

"'If you came on our show what would you do? Can you juggle?'

"And Charles replied, 'Oh no no, I can't do anything'. To which Camilla added, 'Yes, I can vouch for that - he's not talented'."

The most recent series of Britain's Got Talent ended on Saturday with Diversity beating bookies' favourite Susan Boyle to take the title.

Boyle is currently recovering from the defeat at London's Priory clinic.
