Prince Harry comforts child whose mum passed away with words of encouragement
Well, congrats to Prince Harry for making us all cry at our desks this morning.
He had a conversation with a 6-year-old boy in Auckland, New Zealand, who lost his mum when he was one year old and offered up some comforting and inspiring words.
Prince Harry was just 12 years old when his mother, Princess Diana, was tragically killed in a car accident in Paris, France. He has since talked publicly about the impact losing his mum at such a young age had on his mental health.
"Don't you worry about having just one parent," said Harry, after the boy's grandmother told him that her grandson looks up to him.

"You live here in Auckland? You gonna be a rugby player?" he joked.
"Life will always be alright, you know that? I made it to 34 years old and life is great, I've got a beautiful wife and a baby on the way," he said. Your life is gonna be sorted, don't you worry about that."
