When Harry met Harry! Duke of Sussex meets ginger-haired fan named Harry

The encounter is just too cute. - by Grace Back
  • 30 Oct 2018

Prince Harry has once again melted the hearts of Royal fans around the world, after a video shows the Duke of Sussex greeting a red-headed fan named Harry. 

Shortly after arriving in New Zealand on October 28, Harry spotted a young boy wearing a bright blue bow-tie pinned to his grey hoodie. 

Harry Smith, 7, was the spitting image of the Duke of Sussex as he stood at the front of a large crowd at the National War Memorial holding a sign proclaiming "Hi Harry, I'm Harry". 

Perched up on the barricade alongside his mother Nicola, the youngster caught the Duke's eye.

In a sweet video posted to social media, Harry comments on the young boy's hair colour. 

The prince was also impressed by the seven-year-old's bright blue tie and told the boy he was the 'best dressed man here'.

The youngster's mother, Nicola Smith, told The Otago Times her son's brush with royalty was well worth the trip from their home 20km north of Wellington on the Kapiti Coast.

She said: "Prince Harry was really chatty to us."
