Prince Harry, a self-proclaimed "Friends" fanatic, always called himself Chandler Bing - played by the late Matthew Perry.

The world was saddened Saturday night when news broke of the passing of "Friends" star Matthew Perry: In his memoir, "Spare," Prince Harry admits that he loved the long-running sitcom and most identified with the character of Chandler Bing, who plays Perry.

Harry watched "Friends" as a coping mechanism when he suffered a debilitating panic attack in the summer of 2013: he wrote that he may have watched every episode of the show, which ran for 10 seasons and 236 episodes from 1994 to 2004. 1994-2004 He writes that he may have seen every episode of the show, which ran for 10 seasons and 236 episodes from 1994 to 2004. (Cox also appeared in Spare, discussing the night he stayed at her house in 2016, writing, "The idea of staying at Monica's house was very appealing. And funny.")

A self-described "Friends fanatic," he wrote of his crush on Cox, "... I was still confused because she was Monica. And I was Chandler. I was afraid I wouldn't have the courage to confess to her. Was there enough tequila in California to give me that kind of courage?

Harry is not the only royal family member likely to be affected by Perry's death. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, was the first royal member to speak out on Perry's untimely death and paid tribute to him on Instagram. It is a tragedy that we lost you so early in life. Dear Matthew, may you rest in peace: ...... You brought joy and laughter to so many." The tribute included photos of herself, Perry, and the rest of the "Friends" cast, as well as a photo of her and Perry in front of Big Ben in London.

Recall that Fergie had a cameo in season 4 of Friends, and the Daily Express reported that the episode "The One with Ross's Wedding" was filmed in London. The episode is about Ross, played by David Schwimmer, who accidentally utters the name of Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, when he says his vows to Emily. As the wedding drama builds, Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc, runs into Fergie while on a trip to London. The Daily Express reports, "Wearing an oversized Union Jack hat, Joey filmed their unexpected encounter, in which Sarah, playing herself, recorded a humorous message to Chandler." In the message, Sarah said, "Hello, Chandler. Joey says you don't like his hat much, but I think it's kinda dashing."

The paper reported that "before saying her lines, Sarah admitted she was worried about her role on the show and even practiced with Matt, who stood nearby during filming to support both her co-star and the show's special royal guest."

Perry died Saturday at his L.A. home.
