Keep calm and Harry on! Los Angeles graffiti artist welcomes the prince to the city with a portrait after being left upset by Donald Trump's comments about funding the royal's security bill

A Los Angeles street artist has welcomed Prince Harry to the city with a graffiti portrait telling people to 'Keep Calm and Wash Hands'.

Artist Keith Biele, 51, reportedly disliked how American President Donald Trump addressed the Duke of Sussex, 35, and his wife Meghan Markle following their move from Vancouver to California last month.

The President welcomed the royal couple by tweeting about their security costs and explaining that the US would not be paying for their protection.

Not happy with the negative comment, Keith took to intersection of Franklin Avenue and Beachwood Drive in the Los Feliz neighbourhood, and created a street art version of Harry.

Keith took inspiration from the motivational posters made by the UK government in the Second World War that read 'Keep Calm and Carry On', but changed the message to be COVID-19 related.

Alongside Harry, there is a painted blue French bulldog and an orange pitbull to represent peace.

Speaking to People, he said: 'I didn't like the way the President welcomed them to the country by saying, 'Hey, we're not going to pay for your security,'

'So I wanted to try to find a way to use this image and welcome them and at the same time to make a comment and a little public service announcement to everybody.'

Explaining his message, he said: 'I wanted to use [the UK's] saying and put 'Wash Your Hands' in there to update it with what's going on with the COVID-19.' 

Harry and Meghan moved to California from Vancouver at the end of last month, having officially stepped back from royal life on March 31.   

The couple upped sticks to Los Angeles, Meghan's home town and where her mother Doria Ragland lives.

But the Duke is finding life 'a bit challenging' following his move, his friend Dr Jane Goodall has revealed.

Elsewhere, Dr Jane Goodall, 86, told Radio Times she had 'been in touch' with Prince Harry since he quit royal duties and moved to Los Angeles (pictured together in 2019). She said he is finding it 'a bit challenging'

The 86-year-old primatologist has 'been in touch' with Harry following his move and told Radio Times: 'I don't know how his career is going to map out, but, yes, I've been in touch – though I think he's finding life a bit challenging right now.'

The couple are both fans of the world-renowned activist and invited her to their Frogmore Cottage home in Windsor last summer. Dr Goodall believes she may have been one of the first people outside the family to hold Archie.

She is currently in lockdown in Bournemouth where she opened up about Harry and his new life.  

At the suggestion that Harry and his brother William are champions of the natural world, she added: 'Yes – except they hunt and shoot. But I think Harry will stop because Meghan doesn't like hunting, so I suspect that is over for him.'
