Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal tour in Australia and New Zealand has come to an end and it’s safe to say the doting pair charmed every person they met during their many weeks there.
Locals couldn’t help but gush over both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who were as caring and kind-hearted as ever during their royal engagements.
During one of their final days, Harry and Meghan visited Auckland where the prince met one very special boy.
Harry greeted six-year-old Otia Nante, who was accompanied by his 52-year-old grandmother Te Nante.

In a video by News Corp Australia, the young boy's grandmother tells the Duke of Sussex that Otia really admires Harry because he lost his mum too.
The prince asks the young boy, “How old were you when you lost your mum?”

The young boy tells Harry he was only one-year-old when his mum died by suicide.
Harry reassured him: “Don’t you worry about having just one parent. Life will always be alright, do you know that? I made it to 34-years-old and life is great.”
He continued: “I’ve got a beautiful wife and a baby on the way. Your life is going to be sorted, don’t you worry about that.”
He also reminded the young boy of just how special grandparents can be. There’s no doubt Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were a huge support to Harry following the untimely passing of his mum Princess Diana.
He told the boy’s grandmother: “You’re doing a great job, Nan. Nans are so important in our lives.”
Prince Harry really is a true gentleman, isn’t he?
