The rain was no match for excited locals in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday! A crowd gathered outside in a major downpour to see Prince Harry during his royal visit.

Holding up a cup and saucer, one woman offered Prince Harry a warm cup of tea as the rain drenched them all. Another held up the popular Australian biscuit, Tim Tam.

Harry seemed thrilled by the gesture, thanking all of the crowd for waiting out in the rain for him.

Earlier in the day (and indoors), Harry launched the countdown to the 2018 Invictus Games, which will be held in Sydney. And though he was in Australia for a special occasion, that didn’t stop the British royal from remembering the victims of this Saturday’s horrific terror attack in London.

“Can I start by sending my thoughts to those affected by Saturday's attack in London Bridge,” he began his speech. “Australians form an important and vibrant part of the fabric of life in London and we are reminded of that in good times and bad. Our hearts go out to the victims, their friends and families.”

He then met with the Australian Invictus team and helped to launch the games with a special boat in the Sydney Harbour.
