Prince Harry seemed to be in high spirits as he visited a race track in Austin, Texas, ahead of the US Grand Prix.

The Duke of Sussex was all smiles as he met the Mercedes team, but his wife Meghan Markle was noticeably absent from the trip. Harry looked very relaxed during his trip on Saturday as he wore a black polo shirt and jeans.

He accessorised his look with a pair of black sunglasses and smiled as he waved to his waiting fans. Behind the scenes, Harry seemed animated as he chatted to the team and listened carefully to everything they had to say.

Harry's visit comes as racers are gearing up for the Circuit of the Americas, which will see Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris attempt to take victory from Max Verstappen. Harry has been open about his love of racing and previously revealed he used to race Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert in go-karting.

The Duke of Sussex's trip to Austin comes after he and Meghan recently touched down in Atlanta after enjoying a romantic weekend away in the Caribbean. The couple were seen leaving the private plane they had hired to fly them home after their holiday to the island of Canouan in St Vincent and the Grenadines earlier this week.

The couple both opted for casual outfits for their flight, with Meghan wearing a long-sleeve black maxi dress. She accessorised her look with a blue scarf and brown sandals. Harry decided to wear a white T-shirt which he paired with brown trousers. He completed his look with a black baseball cap and carried around a brown overnight bag.

Body language expert Judi James said the pair looked "tense" as they left the plane. She told The Mirror: "Their closeness on holiday has been replaced by a "separated look" after they were pictured holding hands during their trip.

"There's no sign of any lingering post-holiday glow from Meghan's body language here and that romantic, idyllic hand-in-hand pose we saw from Harry and Meghan as they strolled through deserted streets seems to have been replaced by a more separated look as Meghan rushes ahead across the tarmac, leaving Harry to chat to someone as he trails behind," she said.

The body language expert added: "Meghan's unsmiling facial expression and her directive pointing suggest tension here and a desire to rush into the car. Harry appears to be in less of a rush although the way both his elbows are raised as he walks could suggest some matching inner tension here."

Meghan and Harry appeared to have taken the holiday without their two young children - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Canouan in St Vincent and the Grenadines is regularly visited by the likes of Amal and George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Amy Schumer, Mark Walhberg and Leonardo DiCaprio.
