The royal family loves spending time with children, but of them all, Prince Harry has become known for creating an instant rapport with the youngsters he meets. From babies to young teens, he has his mother's knack of instinctively knowing what is needed [1], whether that's a cuddle, a bit of rough and tumble [2], or some gentle teasing.
