The Duke of Sussex - who is a patron of the Rugby Football Union - made a solo trip to Tokyo, Japan, without his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their five-month-old son Archie, to watch the game.
Taking to Instagram after the 32-12 defeat, which he witnessed in the company of Japanese Crown Prince Akishino and his wife Princess Kiko, Harry wrote on Instagram: "Tonight was not England's night, but the whole nation is incredibly proud of what @EnglandRugby have achieved over the past few months. Hold your heads high boys, you did an outstanding job and we couldn't have asked more from you.
"To the whole of South Africa - rugby unites all of us in more ways than we can imagine, and tonight I have no doubt that it will unite all of you. After last months visit, I can't think of a nation that deserves it more. Well done and enjoy!"
Earlier in the day, the 35-year-old royal met with Japanese Paralympic hopefuls and shared a few laughs with the players.
When he heard some of them were backing South Africa, he quipped: "I'll have a word later. You might not be getting selected."
Harry and Meghan had sent the England team a picture of baby Archie in an England t-shirt to show their support ahead of the game.
Player Sam Underhill said: "Not personally! But as a group we've had a couple of messages from Prince Harry.
"He sent us a nice message of support, which was nice to receive.
"He showed his little lad in an England shirt, so that was a nice touch. I'm still waiting on my personal message!"
