Speaking to the crowd, she said: “This is the last place I thought I’d be. But my little brother is about to finish a record-breaking 12 nights at Wembley.”

Gemma told the audience she does not think of Harry as a global star in day-to-day life, but instead “as a brother, as an uncle, a best friend”.

She added: “I’m so proud of you - and not just proud because you’ve done things like this, which nobody does. I’m proud of who you are and who you allow other people to be.”

She said: “The impact you’ve made on so many – not least on us who get to love you – and what a privilege that is. Thank you for being you.”

Gemma then asked the crowd to help congratulate Harry on his historic Wembley run, before the pair embraced on stage.
