Prince Harry said “arse” as he was interviewed live on BBC Radio 2’s breakfast show.
 
The 31-year-old royal uttered the swear word as he talked to host Chris Evans about the upcoming Invictus Games.
 
Talking about the games he said: “It is epic amounts of fun, and it’s for everyone. And these guys are fantastic ambassadors for going out there and putting on a show.
 
“They want to be able to serve their country again, put the Union Jack on their left breast and kick the arse out of life.”
 
“Prince Harry just said arse on the radio! Bet he don’t get in trouble,” one listener wrote on Twitter.
 
“Why didn’t Chris ask Prince Harry to apologise for saying arse?” another asked.
 
Others praised the royal, saying: “Ha, love Prince Harry just said ‘kick the arse out of life’ live on @BBCRadio2 – he always comes across as a great chap.”
 
Invictus Games was launched by Prince Harry in London in 2014.
