PRINCE Harry joked about moving away from California during his getaway to Japan without Meghan.

The Duke of Sussex is in Tokyo for a sports summit - and was spotted today after his HRH title was removed from the Royal Family's website.

The Prince is touring Japan without his wife Meghan Markle or their children Archie and Lilibet.

He appeared to be enjoying himself at the summit as he was spotted chatting to the likes of All Blacks rugby legend Dan Carter.

Harry also told the crowd he would "happily live here if you'd have me".

A smiling Harry told the summit: "Your warmth, your compassion, your generosity, every single element of the Japanese culture is really unique and very, very special."

He added: "Thank you for your hospitality. I have really, really enjoyed being here in Japan again and I'm looking forward to my next visit."

The Duke will visit Singapore later this week for his Sentebale Polo Cup.

It comes after Harry's HRH title was quietly removed from the Royal Family's website.

At the end of June, the site - addressing Harry's charity work - wrote: "His Royal Highness underwent a public HIV test at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital to raise awareness and promote how easy it is to get tested, as part of his on-going efforts to eradicate the stigmas associated with HIV/AIDS."

But as of Tuesday, the HRH title was replaced with just "The Duke".

Despite neither Harry nor Meghan being able to use the titles since their shock "Megxit" departure they remained on the site until now.

Meghan still has her HRH title appearing on the website - leaving many Royal fans wondering whether hers will quietly vanish too.

A recent statement on the website was titled: "Remarks made by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex at the Youth Employment Services, Johannesburg."

In a statement on January 18, 2020, shortly after the couple ditched the country and the family, the Palace said: "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."
