  • Prince Harry has known president-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden for several years.
  • He was first photographed meeting Jill back in 2012. The couple have since become longtime supporters of the Invictus Games, which the duke founded.
  • Harry and Biden have been photographed laughing together at several events over the years.
  • It seems to be a complete contrast to Harry's relationship with Trump, who called Meghan Markle "nasty" after she said she'd move to Canada if he was elected in 2016.

Recently resurfaced photos show Prince Harry and president-elect Joe Biden have met on several occasions, including at the Invictus Games in 2016 and 2017.

The Duke of Sussex has known Biden and his wife Jill for several years, and was first photographed meeting the then-second lady at an event in Washington, DC in 2012.

The couple have been longtime supporters of the Invictus Games, a sporting tournament for injured and wounded service personnel that Harry founded in 2014.

Biden has publicly made fun of Harry's friendship with his wife, previously joking that he was "a little worried" after Jill spent a weekend with the duke at the Invictus Games in London, according to The Guardian.

Harry's relationship with the couple appears to be a complete contrast to his relationship with President Donald Trump, who called Meghan Markle "nasty" after a reporter told him that she previously said she'd move to Canada if he was elected in 2016.

Harry appeared to avoid having his picture taken with Trump when the president visited Buckingham Palace last year.

Harry and Markle did not publicly endorse any candidate before the US election, however, Trump seemed to believe they did after he responded to a reporter who asked what he thought of them "essentially encouraging people to vote for Joe Biden."

The reporter's question was likely a reference to Markle's comments that this was "the most important election of our lifetime."

"I'm not a fan of her," Trump said. "And I would say this — and she probably has heard that — but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he's going to need it."

Representatives for the Duke of Sussex declined to comment on the current status of Harry's relationship with Biden when contacted by Insider.

Joe later joked about their appearance together, telling The Guardian: "I read in the Guardian, or one of them, and it says – I'm paraphrasing – everywhere Prince Harry went, he had this blonde woman on his arm. The vice-president's wife! I'm a little worried here, you know what I mean?"
