In a photo shared by the breakfast programme, Sydney can be seen looking disappointed and staring off into the distance as her dad leans over her shoulder.
Behind them is 35-year-old Harry, who is smiling sheepishly as he tries to get Sydney's attention.
The snap was taken during the Prince's royal visit to Jamaica in 2012.
Recalling the day, Shaggy laughed as he explained: "It was crazy, everyone was saying about the prince coming to Jamaica and her mum was saying: 'Daddy is going to see the prince'.

"She was like, 'I want to see the prince!' but when he got there you can see in that picture, she didn't want anything…
"Prince Harry was like, 'I've never met anyone less impressed'."
The star continued: "She thought he was supposed to look like the prince that was in Snow White or something like that - Disney, he'd come in on a horse."
