Prince Harry manages to avoid the most awkward live TV interview ever
Watch Next

You might remember Alison Hammond, the over-the-top showbiz reporter who turned into an Internet star after this hilarious interview with Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling. Seriously, watch it if you haven't already: it's already a classic.

Now she's turned her eyes to the couple of the year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who just got engaged and are in Nottingham for their first public appearance.

And boy, did she deliver.

Standing behind the line of the route, Hammond started yelling at Harry -- "Harry, come and get warmed up by me!" -- to try to catch his attention (fastforward to minute 1:00).

"You're live on This Morning, Harry!" she repeated.

Harry, however, was undeterred and swerved away from her and said: "I’m just going to go this way!" Alison said in response: "He touched me, he curve balled me!"

While some people found the exchange hilarious, fans of the Royal couple thought it was disrespectful.
