Let me tell you a story that’s going to tug at your heartstrings. Prince Harry, the proud and doting dad, recently shared some endearing words about his little girl, Lilibet. It happened during the WellChild Awards in London, an event that highlights the strength and resilience of young people facing significant health challenges. Harry, now 40, was there, and let me tell you, he brought the charm and warmth that we’ve all come to love.
A Nostalgic Moment with Noah Nicholson
During the event, Harry encountered a familiar face — Noah Nicholson, a young boy who he first met five years ago at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Noah, now six years old, carried a stuffed giraffe attached to a blanket. This wasn’t just any toy; it was a cherished companion named Raffy. Recognizing the toy instantly, Harry exclaimed, “Is this the same one? No way!” His reaction was pure delight, and he went on to share a parenting tip that many could relate to: “Every parent has a spare. I’ve got at least six spare. My daughter Lili has these Lovies.”
A Thoughtful Gift for the Royal Family
Another touching moment came when a little girl named Scarlett Cripps presented Harry with a gift for his family. Scarlett, accompanied by her mom Aby, handed over some crystal hearts for Lilibet, now three, Archie, and Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle. As Aby explained to People, “Scarlett gave Prince Harry some crystal hearts so if he feels down, he can give a crystal heart to each of his family members to squeeze and make them feel a lot happier.” These "baby crystal hearts" were a symbol of gratitude for Harry’s work in uplifting others.

Harry was clearly moved by the gesture, saying, “It’s a lovely gesture.” He even mentioned how the gift reminded him of his “lovely wife,” adding a sweet touch to the already heartwarming moment.
An Inspiring Speech to Honor Heroes
But the evening didn’t stop there. Harry delivered a powerful speech to honor all the award recipients. As a parent, he spoke candidly about the emotional roller-coaster of parenting, acknowledging the immense dedication and care that many parents provide around the clock. “When I hear about the care many of you mums, dads, and family members provide — the level of round-the-clock care you offer, the skills you’ve had to learn, and the battles for support you fight every single day — I am truly in awe,” Harry said. His words resonated deeply with everyone in attendance.
He concluded his speech by saluting the attendees, saying, “We salute you. Thank you for your courage, your perseverance, your kindness, and of course your humor. And thank you for being you and uplifting all those around you.” His words were heartfelt and left a lasting impression on everyone present.
Harry traveled to the U.K. alone for this trip, marking four years since he and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal life. Despite the initial friction with his father, King Charles III, and brother Prince William, insiders suggest that Harry is eager to mend those relationships. “He’s very confident that he and his father will be in a better place in the coming year,” an insider revealed. “While Harry and William will always have their issues, Harry loves his brother dearly and acknowledges his own mistakes.”
Currently, Harry and Meghan are raising their two children in their picturesque California home. Leaving England was a tough decision, but putting his family first has strengthened his bond with Meghan. “It’s made their relationship so much stronger, and they’re still very much in love,” the insider added. Looking ahead, Harry is excited about the next chapter of his life with his family, learning that following your heart is one of life’s greatest lessons.
