"EY up mi duck" is probably one of the last things one would expect a Royal to say.
But it was with this famous Nottingham catchphrase that Prince Harry yesterday launched a new training course in the city.
The flame-haired prince visited the specialist music, gaming and film college Confetti, in Convent Street, behind the Oceana nightclub, to get a glimpse of the training on offer and to officially launch the Notts TV Institute.WATCH: Crowds waiting for Prince Harry outside Headway
The institute will be where students will be trained to work on Notts TV, a new TV channel being set up in the area.
As the Prince pulled a lever which triggered a short film about the new TV channel, he gave a sparkling smile and cheekily said "ey up mi duck" – much to the delight of the audience of students, staff, press and special guests inside Confetti.
He arrived at the college around 1.40pm to a crowd of at least 500 people.
After waving and smiling to his fans, he was whisked inside the college and treated to a selection of taster training sessions.
The first was an exercise in news reading. Harry was introduced to some Confetti students and read a brief autocue to camera about Nottingham star Jake Bugg.
He was then given a chance to do a spot of DJ-ing in the studio. After spinning the decks for less than a second he had the crowd of students bouncing and chanting "Harry, we love you Harry!"
Emily Lappin, of Confetti, explained why the Prince's visit was so important to the college.
She said: "We are very lucky indeed to have the honour of a visit from Harry and everyone has worked so hard in preparation for him coming.
"This is the first Royal visit we have had. It is wonderful, as it rewards the students for all their hard work and shows how they are brilliant ambassadors for the college."
After spinning the decks Harry moved on to a taster session in gaming. The college had prepared an avatar of him, which was a computer-game character in ruby red armour, taking part in the game called "Royal Run".
As he attempted to jump across a ravine on the game, console in hand, Harry said: "Who made this game? It's extremely difficult."
But he was in no rush to put the controller down – showing he, like many boys at heart, loves a good video game.
As Harry was led around the college he took a real interest in the students, asking questions, getting stuck in with the demonstrations and making jokes at every turn.
Before the prince launched the Notts TV institute, Confetti managing director Craig Chettle said: "We are going to achieve so much at the institute. This time next year there will be young people in this room behind the camera, not just taking pictures.
"We are thrilled to have had Prince Harry here today."
