Prince harry fixed a TV set before the football match while visiting a family in the Chilean shanty town that had been devastated by wildfires.

The Prince, who is a football fan himself, was visiting the temporary home of Coca Perez and her teenage son and daughter in a slum outside the former capital Valparaiso when he spotted the television was not working, the Mirror reported.

The 50-year-old said that when Captain Harry Wales looked at the TV, he started to fiddle with the cable but he managed to get it working so they could watch Chile playing Brazil.

He further joked about telling everyone that Harry was his TV repair man.

Harry, who is fourth in line to the throne, was part of a visit to the hilltop community of El Vergel with the charity Techo, which was helping villagers build new homes out of chipboard and corrugated iron, after thousands were left homeless and 15 people were killed because of the wildfires that struck in April.
