They locked eyes for the first time just two days ago, but fans are already angling for Prince Harry and Rihanna to get together.

Harry, who is dating Suits actress Meghan Markle, joined forces with the Bajan beauty in Barbados this week as part of his 15-day tour of the Caribbean, and the pair were pictured laughing and joking together.

Within minutes of the images appearing online, fans had taken to Instagram to remark on the couple's chemistry and beg them to become a couple.

As well as teaming up for a series of celebratory events to mark the country's 50th anniversary of independence, the pair both volunteered for HIV tests to highlight World Aids Day yesterday.

And fans could barely contain their excitement, with a video of the pair posted online notching up almost 23,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

Instagrammer belledbel wrote: "Please make babies," while katytaylor added, "I know harry is already dating a wonderfully beautiful girl but how about this for a perfect couple!"

Others commented on the 'cute' pairing with courtleigh8 calling them a
"match made in heaven".

Rihanna, 28, is rumoured to be newly-single after splitting from Canadian rapper and on-off boyfriend Drake, while Harry is well and truly taken.

Commenting beneath a video of the pair together on Kensington Palace's Instagram page, rieyelisa wrote: "Ummm yes I fully support this union."

Mallies went as far as saying they'd make "the cutest babies" with adore_echelon gushing: "You guys look stunning together oh my goshh."

One fan declared she would be "OK if they dated" while Pakittyy remarked: "RiRi Royalty!"

However not everyone was convinced, with twittyj blasting: "RiRi & Harry together? No thanks. She's a very talented lady, but not quite princess material. Pop princess, perhaps."

Their visit marked the royal's tenth day of his two week official visit to the Caribbean.

With his visit to Barbados coming to an end Harry looked determined to make the most of his evening with the Diamonds singer.

The royal looked dapper in a pair of wine coloured chinos which he paired with a navy shirt for the event.

Harry is nearing the end of his 15-day tour of the Caribbean which has so far taken him to St Kitt's and Nevis, Grenada and St Lucia. He will finish in Guyana with a special visit to the country's President David Granger.
