Prince Harry got a special visit from a very famous musician recently. Ed Sheeran stopped by Kensington Palace to discuss their World Mental Health Day project.

A video shared on the Sussex Royal Instagram page shows Ed getting ready to meet the prince. 

The 'Shape of You' hitmaker revealed that the royal contacted him about doing a charity video together.

When Ed then heads to Kensington Palace and rings the doorbell - which unsurprisingly plays the notes of 'God Save the Queen', Harry opens the door and invites Ed inside. Their meeting reportedly took place at Princess Eugenie's home.

Once inside, Ed tells Harry that he is "passionate" about their new project.

The Grammy Award winner seems to think he will be writing a song about gingers uniting against their haters. 

"People just doesn't understand what it is like for people like us. You know with the jokes and the snide comments, I just feel like it is time we stood up and said we are not going to take this anymore, we are ginger and we are going to fight," Ed said.

Jokes aside, Prince Harry and Ed want you to look after yourself, your friends, and those around you.

"Guys, this World Mental Health Day, reach out, make sure that your friends, strangers, look out for anybody that might be suffering in silence. We are all in this together," Harry says in the video.
