Bet you never thought you'd hear Prince Harry's singing voice.

Well, on Wednesday night, Harry got up on stage with the cast of Hamilton at Victoria Palace Theatre in London, and sang the first line of "You'll Be Back" — a song that's usually sung by King George III in the play.

Judging by his dulcet tones, Harry should consider a career in theatre.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton creator and star, pointed out the significance of Harry's choice of song. "King George III's great-great-great-great-great-great grandson The Duke of Sussex sang a few bars tonight," Miranda tweeted.

Of course, Harry wasn't just on stage to dazzle us with his vocal prowess (though, we'd be totally fine if he were). He was actually attending a gala performance of Hamilton in support of Sentebale, a charity founded by Harry, which supports children and young people affected by HIV in Botswana and Lesotho.

It's not too late to rethink your career, Harry!
