During Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal tour [1], there have been a number of touching moments the two have shared with fans. Meghan has comforted a crying boy [2] while Harry has shared a personal conversation [3] with a woman who lost her husband. Harry's recent interaction with a 6-year-old boy is yet another example of how kind the royal duo truly is.
While on a public walk at Viaduct Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand, on Oct. 30, the Duke of Sussex made a special effort to talk to the young boy named Otia Nante. Harry found out that Otia lost his mother to suicide and gave him a few words of encouragement [4]. "Life will always be all right. You know that?" Harry said. "I've made it to 34 years old and life is great. I have a beautiful wife and a baby on the way. Your life is going to be sorted. Don't you worry about that."
Harry is certainly familiar with the feeling of loss at such a young age. He was just 12 years old when his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash [6]. Harry has previously opened up about losing his mother [7], admitting that he wished he didn't hide his grief for so long [8]. "I really regret not talking about it," he said in an interview with BBC News. "It is OK to suffer, but as long as you talk about it. It is not a weakness. Weakness is having a problem and not recognising it and not solving that problem."
Clearly, Harry is using his experience to help young Otia get through a tough time, and it's purely heartwarming. See more pictures of Harry and Meghan meeting fans at Viaduct Harbour ahead.
