65 Times Prince Harry Was Completely Adorable With Kids
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Prince Harry is now a proud father of two children, Archie and Lilibet. But even before he became a father himself, the Duke of Sussex has always been good with children — perhaps because of his lighthearted, child-like approach towards the kids he's encountered. Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana famously said that she "lead[s] from the heart, not the head," and it's clear that her son similarly brings an open-hearted approach to the children he encounters. In a recent event promoting his book Spare, Harry also said that when it comes to his own kids, he's making sure to "smother them with love and affection."
From pulling funny faces at the Invictus Games to spending time with young hospital patients, Prince Harry has had plenty of adorable moments with children in his lifetime. We've rounded up more than 60 photos of times that Prince Harry was an absolute sweetheart with kids, including a few special pictures that feature his own two children.
