On the last leg of his first solo royal tour, Prince Harry showed more of his relaxed, humorous nature to denizens of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In a day spent largely on sports activities, he donned a face mask of his older brother, William, for a charity run. He also hit the beach, teaching kids the wonderfully strange rules of rugby; a sport just starting to take off in Latin America.
