Prince Harry Dressed Up as Santa Claus to Spread Christmas Cheer to Bereaved Children

Prince Harry has embraced his inner Santa Claus this year to give the children of Scotty's Little Soldiers a special holiday treat. The charity — which is dedicated to supporting bereaved British Forces children — shared a video on Friday showing the jolly British royal dressed in a full Santa outfit, beard and all. "Ho ho ho! Hi, guys," Harry started the video, and if that doesn't automatically put a smile on your face this holiday season, I don't know what will.

"I hear there are 190 of you there this year, so please cause as much chaos as humanly possible," Harry said, addressing the children involved in the charity. "I also want to encourage you guys to look around and realise that you are part of a family."

Harry went on to remind the children that they are strong and that, while losing a loved one is difficult, the future remains bright. "Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but I know that every single one of you — by helping each other out — that you will have an amazing future ahead of you and a fantastic Christmas as well. Your parents, they will never be forgotten and you will never be forgotten." Prince Harry was just 11 years old when he lost his own mother, Princess Diana.

The heartwarming video has us hoping baby Archie was able to see his dad in his full Santa costume for his first Christmas. Watch Prince Harry's full video message ahead.
