Prince Harry Jokes About Women and Harry Potter at Charity Gala Dinner—Check Out Details and Photos!

30-year-old royal Muggle had anticipated having different dinner seatmates

Prince Harry, the Ron Weasley of the United Kingdom's Muggle royal family, learned that you should never judge an event by its title.

The 30-year-old redheaded younger brother of Prince William anticipated hanging out with 100 women at a gala dinner to raise money for WellChild, a charity for sick children, as the Thursday event was hosted by the 100 Women in Hedge Funds. But when he was seated, he found himself sorted into a different group.

"Thank you all very much for coming this evening. Um, I'm not entirely sure who made the seating plan, but I'm sitting between two men," he said in a speech, drawing laughs from the crowd, as seen in a video posted by U.K. news service ITN. " I thought it would just be 100 women and myself."

"Anyway," he said. "It's great to see so many of you at this rather wonderful Harry Potter-esque setting, and there won't be any Quiddich."

Despite his seemingly disappointing seating arrangements, Harry, did, however, still get to meet many of the predominantly female attendees at the event, which took place at Royal Hospital Chelsea in London.

Several of them appeared quite charmed by the dashing prince, who looked sharp in a black tux.

In addition to WellChild, Harry serves as a patron of several other charities, as do his brother, who is second in line to the throne, and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, aka Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

"This hospital represents the importance of which society places on the care of those less fortunate than ourselves," Harry said during his speech, adding, "I'm incredibly proud to be patron of WellChild, the charity being championed by 100 Women in Hedge Funds U.K. this year. I'm also delighted to be patron of 100 Women in Hedge Funds philanthropic initiatives for this year also."

"I hope that all of you here tonight are hugely proud of the support that you've given to WellChild," he said. "It really does change lives. But may I ask just more thing of you—when you leave here tonight, please continue to spread the word, far and wide, about this fantastic organization. 'Cause together, all of us can make a real difference for the children and for young people."
