The fake Harry offered the workman the chance to renovate the floors in Buckingham Palace for a cool £835,000.

Before the ‘contract’ took effect though, the unnamed man was asked to transfer £23,000 in order to create a British Business.

The workman, after not hearing back from the fake Harry, contacted Austrian police.

It was exposed as a scam and, unfortunately, the man was told there was a ‘slim’ chance of getting his money back.

Back in 2010, at least 20 women in America were conned by another ‘Prince Harry’ fraudster.

After the conman told the women that he was working with orphans in Africa, they transferred money through to him.

Of course, the money wasn’t going to Prince Harry or African orphans. Instead it went to a bank account in West Africa.

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that actual Prince Harry and his girlfriend Cressida Bonas are related.

Talking to a UK newspaper, David Osbourne of The Gynaecologist claimed: “Our software worked out that Harry and Cressida are fourth half-cousins one time removed and each share 1.6 per cent of their genes with their common ancestor.”
