In a playful scene in the first episode of Heart of Invictus, Prince Harry chatted to two mates as they prepared to go for a hike.

One of the chaps called “show gun” as they entered the car, meaning they got to sit in the front seat alongside Prince Harry.

The other man jokes that he didn’t ask for a “reload”, and explains that Harry could have “reset” the privilege and given the other person the chance instead.

He added: “I’m the only one that’s not an officer so you can trust me with a map.”

Prince Harry then joked: “What’s square and f***s with an officer? A map.”

Royal fans were quick to comment on Prince Harry’s language and took to social media to share their surprise.

One said: “Harry dropping the f bomb 5 minutes into the first episode #HeartOfInvictus.”

Another added: “He is ungovernable.” 

In episode three, Harry also swears as he thanked Team UK for their hard work.

Harry said: "You did it everyday wearing uniform and for one reason or another that uniform had to be hung up.

"That service service that runs in your blood, in our blood - that never leaves the body. It's there.

"So when you're out there, kicking a**, trying to win a medal or just having fun and making your family incredibly proud - when you feel that feeling in your throat and you feel like you might want to cry - then just f**king cry, all right? I mean that.

"Take care, look after yourselves, look after each other as well."

Later in the documentary Prince Harry appeared to hit out at his family - claiming he didn't have a support network after Princess Diana's death.

Prince Harry says he was left "lying in the foetal position" and "bouncing off walls" after leaving Afghanistan.

The Duke of Sussex's Heart of Invictus Netflix series was released on the streaming platform today.

The five-episode series follows the life of injured military veterans who compete in a Paralympic-style Invictus Games.

The Invictus Games was created by Harry in 2014 and the 2023 contest takes place next month in Dusseldorf, Germany.

In the second episode he opened up about his own mental health.

He said: "I can only speak from my personal experience - My tour of Afghanistan in 2011 flying Apaches.

"Somewhere after that there was an unravelling and the trigger to me was returning from Afghanistan.

"But the stuff that was coming up was from 1997 - from the age of 12.

"Losing my mum at such a young age, the trauma that I had, I was never really aware of."

Harry says he suppressed his emotions "like most youngsters would have done."

Harry also revealed sweet chats he's had with son Archie about what the youngster wants to be when he grows up.

Speaking to athletes at the Invictus Games, which he founded for wounded soldiers, Harry said what would make him proud of young Archie.

The Duke told the crowd: "When I talk to my son Archie about what he wants to be when he grows up, some days it’s an astronaut, other days it’s a pilot.

"But what I remind him is no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it’s your character that matters most.

"And nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us today - you."

Harry's wife Meghan also briefly featured in the documentary - sharing an emotional message about family.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, thanked the family and friends of the veterans taking part in the fourth episode.

Meghan said: "Thank you so much for your service and thank you to all the family and friends who are here supporting you along the way, because this is service, this is dedication and this is the Invictus family."

It comes after Harry surprised cinema goers at the California premiere.
