Prince Harry once broke down in tears at the WellChild Awards as he recalled wife Meghan Markle’s first pregnancy with their fist-born son Archie.
The Duke of Sussex, who is now a father of two to Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, is set to attend the WellChild Awards 2022 next month as he prepares to visit the UK with his wife Meghan.
But rewind three years and Prince Harry was seen breaking down in tears as he took to the stage to give a speech, as patron of the charity which helps sick children.
And Prince Harry is expected to deliver another speech at the awards ceremony due to be held on September 8th. Ahead of his visit, attention has turned to his 2019 speech that saw him battle with his emotions.
His speech started, "It has been over a decade since I first came to these Awards and every year they never fail to surprise and inspire me.
"Yet this year, it resonates in a different way, because now I’m a father.
“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…"
But as he recalled, his mind trailed off and TV presenter Gaby Roslin stepped forward to comfort him with a supportive arm and proceeded to rub it reassuringly.
Prince Harry continued, “Sorry,” he laughed, before continuing, “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 heartstrings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own.”
All eyes will be on Prince Harry to see what heartfelt message he delivers this time, now as a father of two.
