Prince Harry helps lost young boy find parents in amazing fatherly moment

"Whose child is this?" - by Grace Back
  • 01 Nov 2018

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were meeting locals at Government Gardens in Rotorua during their final day in New Zealand, when a little boy became lost.

Harry, who is expecting his first child, saw the little boy and immediately sprung to action.

The royal stopped meeting eager fans and began asking people standing close by, "Whose child is this?" 

The toddler had managed to squeeze through the barriers and broke away from his parents. 

Harry glanced around the crowd before he saw the boy's parents and was able to guide the little boy back to them.

'Whose Child Is This?' Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Meet Crowds

Prince Harry and Meghan received an incredibly warm welcome in New Zealand, with hundreds lining the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. 

The couple were draped in woven Maori cloaks when they were greeted in Rotorua for the final day of the tour.

The traditional cloaks given to the couple honoured Meghan’s impending motherhood and the significance of female ancestors.

During their trip, the Duke of Sussex was handed a carved weapon during a visit to Rotorua – and warned he should not take it to Twickenham when England play New Zealand.

Harry and Meghan entered into the Tamatekapua Meeting House both wearing a Maori cloak – called Korowai – which is intended to be a protector.

He was given a tewhatewha, a Maori weapon with a point at one end and an axe at the other.

Trevor Maxwell, on the local district council, said: “I am sure you are going to Twickenham when the All Blacks play England on November 11 – make sure you don’t take that.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will farewell New Zealand on November 1, heading back to London.
