This throwback photo shows 18-year-old Prince Harry in his college bedroom — and one key detail has caught the eye of an Oscar-winning actress.

Well, now we know who Prince Harry's teenage crush was.

A recently resurfaced photo of the now-33-year-old royal's dorm room when he was an 18-year-old student and boarder at Eton College shows Harry's looked like many an ordinary messy teenage boy's room: A CD player, what appears to be a tube of Lynx body spray (!) and personal photos up on the walls.

There were also a few pin-up girls thumb-tacked to his wall — including one gorgeous Hollywood star who couldn't help but notice her presence in the photo.

Oscar-winner Halle Berry shared the photo on Twitter this week, giving Prince Harry a shout-out for his excellent taste in women. See if you can spot Berry in the pic:

"OK #PrinceHarry, I see you! #HalleBerryPosta @MissyElliott," the 52-year-old tweeted, referencing a famous line from rapper Missy Elliott's 2001 hit Work It.

In the song, Elliott asks "Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster?"

As some on Twitter were keen to point out, given his recent marriage to former Hollywood actress Meghan Markle, it might be fair to suggest the Prince has a "type":

Berry wasn't the only recognisable face in Harry's dorm: A framed photograph of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, took pride of place on his desk.
