Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, have embraced life in the USA since quitting the Royal Family last March. The couple have been based in Montecito, Santa Barbara with their son Archie Harrison since July and according to a neighbour, Harry is now sporting a long-haired look.
Actor Rob Lowe, 56, lives close to the Sussexes and claims to have spotted Prince Harry wearing a ponytail as he drove around the neighbourhood.
The Hollywood star made the revelation during Monday night’s episode of The Late Late Show hosted by James Corden.
Speaking to Mr Corden, Mr Lowe said: “I just ran into your countryman, the English treasure, Prince Harry, at the stoplight 10 minutes ago.”
He added: “It was very, very quick — don’t totally quote me on it — but it looked like he’s wearing a ponytail.”

Meghan and Harry have achieved their goal of gaining financial independence from the Royal Family and there is much speculation as to whether they will hold onto their HRH styles and royal titles going forward.
The couple are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and have kept their HRH styles but this could change when the Queen reviews their situation in March.
Given the Sussexes have forged a new path from themselves away from the monarchy they titles may now be redundant, a constitutional expert has claimed.
Discussing what will happen to the pair’s titles, constitutional expert Iain MacMarthanne told Express.co.uk: “What has become clear is that for traditionalists and purveyors of precedent the Sussexes are skating on thin ice.
“Whether they have breached their agreement in ‘law’ or the ‘spirit’ of it, the fact remains there is a body of thought that believes their present activities are not commensurate with holding any royal title.
“The monarchy has shown itself to be responsive to public opinion before, the question is whether it wishes to establish a new precedent for those who seek to step back from front line royal duties by removing any and all royal titles from the departing royal: only time and a review of the Sussexes position will tell.”
