Preview shows Prince at his flirtatious best

I tell you, it will only be a matter of minutes before Harry is accused of dating Katie Couric, after he appeared in a jovial and some might say flirtatious mood during a preview of her 20/20 Jubilee special.

Katie quizzes Harry as to whether the Queen used the British Monarchy’s Facebook page to "friend" him, and Harry replies, “No she hasn't. Why? Has she friended you?”

Katie responds: “Hopefully after this interview she will.”

The chat will appear on ABC for a special called "The Real Queen By Her Own Royal Family" on May 29.

Prince William is also seen in the preview saying, “As I learned from growing up, you don't mess with your grandmother.”
