Prince Harry is a busy guy these days. He's doubling down on royal duties as the countdown to Baby Sussex draws to an end. Harry's firstborn is expected to arrive sometime in the next month. Watching Harry move about as good wishes rain down on him is sweet, especially when so many of his recent appearances have involved children. But it turns out that not all children are that impressed with Prince Harry, as he learned on one of his recent school visits.
The Duke of Sussex stopped by St. Vincent’s Catholic Primary School in Acton. During the visit, one of the little boys seemed a bit skeptical that Harry was an actual prince. In fact, the little boy tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "When is the real Prince Harry coming?"
According to Harry, it's not the first time a child has thought he wasn't a real prince. The reason why is hilarious and adorable!
It's such an exciting time for Prince Harry. All within the next two months, he'll celebrate his first wedding anniversary and the birth of his first child.
It's been fun watching Harry and Meghan as her bump grows. They've spent a lot of time visiting with children.
All the visits have royal fans wondering what kind of parents Harry and Meghan will be. It's so sweet watching them bond with young kids around the world.
Harry is flying solo on royal duties these days. Meghan's maternity leave began after the two celebrated Commonwealth Day.
Harry recently visited St. Vincent’s Catholic Primary School in Acton. He planted trees with students as part of the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy tree-planting initiative.
As People reports, not all the kids were impressed with the royal visit. In fact, one had a hard time believing it was really Prince Harry at all.
A teaching assistant told the funny story of what happened when one of the kids called him out on it. According to teaching assistant Philomena Frattura, "One of them tapped him and said, ‘When is Prince Harry coming?’"
"But I'm Prince Harry," the royal reportedly replied to the youngster. The student was still in disbelief and asked again, "When is the real Prince Harry coming?"
Harry answered the boy, explaining, "I’m the real Harry. I’ve just had my hair cut for the occasion." It apparently took some more convincing for the boy to come around.
Learning mentor Diane Redmond had a good reason why 4-year-old Emmanuel didn't think Prince Harry was the real thing. She explained, "They think a prince should have a crown."
This isn't the first time Harry's had an experience like this. In fact, he previously told People that it happens quite often.
In the 2016 interview, he explained, "Every time I get to meet kids and they have been told a real-life prince is coming, the disappointment on their faces when they see me without a crown or a cape." Luckily, the prince is very good-natured about the suspicion.
Harry even joked that he might dress the part one day to impress the little ones.
"So I am going to pack a crown and a cape this time and some funny pointy-toed shoes," he joked. "I’m going to sign the crown out!"
It's sweet to see how Harry gets along with kids everywhere. We can't wait to see what he'll be like as a dad!
