Prince Harry took time to video chat with some important people in a video released on Oct 10. The calls were in honor of this year's WellChild Awards, a ceremony that celebrates the resilience of children living with serious illness.
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are recurring attendees at the annual event, but could not make it this year following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
Harry sat down to talk with the young winners of the awards and their family via video conference, as he was unable to make it to the event.
He first met with 4-year-old Henry Waines and his parents, telling the boy that they shared the same first name.
"My name is Henry," said the prince.
"Well, everyone calls me Harry. I have no idea why," he told the child. Henry's mom told Harry, whose given name is Henry Charles Albert David, that he was the inspiration for her child's name.
"Don't tell me that!" he said, jokingly covering his face.
The group began to discuss the award ceremony that Harry was unable to attend. He apologized that he wasn't there, to which Henry smiled and said it was "alright."
"You sound just like my son Archie, with that little squeaky voice. I love it," Harry said.
The young winner Henry later asked the prince how his children were doing.
"Archie is very, very busy. And Lili is learning to use her voice, which is great," Harry replied.
While speaking with another WellChild Award winner, Isabelle Delaney, Harry got to meet her furry special friend, her dog Hope.
"She helps Isabelle when we go to places that are loud and busy. Hope goes and helps keep her calm, keep her happy," Isabelle's mom explained.
"I tell you what, we all need a dog that keeps us calm," Harry said, agreeing that dogs can be soothing to have a round.
"I've got three in this house now," he continued. "So, we basically have five children."
