Prince Harry spends $14,000 on Prince Louis' christening present

So thoughtful. - by Nikki Black
  • 10 Jul 2018

Prince Harry may have missed out on being Prince Louis' godparent, but he's proven he's taking his uncle role very seriously. 

The Duke of Sussex, 33, reportedly spent a huge $14,000 on a present for his newest nephew, who was christened at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace on Monday. 

Reports claim the royal found an incredibly rare first-edition copy of A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, dating back to 1926, which he bought from Peter Harrington, a rare book store in London.

Prince Harry is reportedly keen to build up a library for his nephews Prince George, 4, and Prince Louis, as well as niece Princess Charlotte, 3, in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana. 

A source told The Sun, 'One of Harry’s happiest childhood memories was being read a bedtime story by his mother.

'She loved all the old classics and Harry had the brilliant idea of starting a little library of first editions for Louis, Charlotte and George to enjoy as they get older.'

According to the insider, Harry originally planned on buying a copy of Lewis Carrol’s Through The Looking Glass for Prince Louis, which would have cost a whopping $42,600, but decided Winnie-the-Pooh was more appropriate.

Prince Harry and his new wife Meghan Markle, 36, were among just 30 guests invited to Louis’ christening.
