PRINCE Harry's cringe sweary TV appearance 'hints at a hidden dark truth - he'll be on I'm A Celeb next', an expert says.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, took a tour of a haunted maze with Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon in a surprise TV appearance last night.

As the frights came to a climax at Fallon’s new Tonightmares attraction at the Rockefeller Center in New York, the royal could be seen shouting “Jesus, f**k!”

It is the latest appearance without wife Meghan Markle, amid suggestions he is keen on a UK return but she's not.

Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun: "It's a sort of publicity stunt which gets gets us talking about them, which is what they consider to be very important.

"Obviously they have a very expensive lifestyle. They have to finance it.

"Therefore they need to keep putting themselves in front of the cameras.

"I didn't personally think that it was very dignified. Prince Harry, to be quite honest, didn't really add anything to the to the proceedings.

"He stumbled about in this kind of maze of sort of nightmarish horror, rather pointlessly in my view.

"It slightly made me wonder what he was going to do next. Are we going to find him, you know, out in the jungle with Ant and Dec?

"It sounds rather unkind to say it, but sort of fading, fading personalities do to revive their careers."

In one comedy moment of the skit on NBC, which lasted almost three minutes, an actress playing a zombie failed to recognise Harry.

After he passed her by she was shown asking a colleague: “Who was that?”

At another point in the segment Harry joked that one of the other actors looked like his Canadian crooner pal Michael Bublé.

Royal expert Vickers said: "That does seem to be a very sort of strong feeling that things are changing in the Harry and Meghan camp.

"Probably because things haven't quite gone the way they wanted it to go.

He's just delivering the messages, she's dictating them all

"We've talked a lot recently about him doing solo engagements without Meghan Markle.

"I read somewhere that they were sort of separating their charitable enterprises, and they were going to go slightly in different directions.

"I think that anything that Prince Harry does independently could create tension in that camp.

"I think that that could be a problem. I mean. Maybe he is in a way, asserting himself.

"Maybe he is sort of slightly flexing his muscles and thinking, I want to be myself again.

"I guess they are at a sort of crossroads, and wondering what to do next.

"Here we are talking about them, and we talk about them a great deal, but that won't go on forever, because people will get bored.

"There have been quite a lot of times when certainly I, observing it from afar, think that he's just really delivering her message, and that she is the one dictating all the messages.

"So maybe maybe he wants to be a bit more independent - that I would certainly commend."

'STOLEN FUTURE'

Earlier this week Harry revealed what 'gives him hope' and honoured Princess Diana while he discussed mental health.

He spoke at an event for the Halo Trust - a landmine charity which was close to Di's heart.

Harry addressed winners, Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang from Indonesia and Christina Williams from Jamaica.

He said: "The courage that you have gives me hope because every single one of us need courage in order to really move the dial and create positive change in today's world, probably more so now than ever.

"So thank you to you guys for giving me, and probably a lot of other people, in this room, hope.

"Now we need to listen, constantly listen, and then act on the advice and the vision that you have.

"Because otherwise it's your future that's being stolen from you and that is unacceptable."
