Prince Harry breaks down on stage as he remembers Meghan’s pregnancy

This will be the sweetest thing you’ll see today.

Prince Harry is probably our favourite member of the royal family. He doesn’t adhere to royal protocol as much as the other, and let’s just say through his twenties he pretty much did his own thing.

He has since grown up and has flourished – marrying Meghan Markle and starting a family.

Prince Harry attended the WellChild awards ceremony last night and broke down on stage when speaking about his wife.

He said: “Last year when my wife and I attended we knew we were expecting our first child – no one else did at the time, but we did.

“And I remember squeezing Meghan’s hand so tight during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day, and more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time.

“And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heart strings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own.”

As he was visibly emotional, he was comforted by the host, Gaby Roslin.

WellChild is a charity in the UK which gives children and young people with serious illnesses the best chance to thrive – at home with their families.
