Five-year-old Luke Vincent has Down’s syndrome, and his favorite person in the whole world is Santa Claus. It makes sense then, that when he saw Prince Harry’s beard he wished to touch it.
Exemplifying the tenderness that his mother was so famous for, the prince knelt down to be at Luke’s eye level. Luke gave Prince Harry a big hug, before stroking his beard. Harry, meanwhile, simply laughed.
The prince then introduced his wife, Meghan, with the adorable Luke handing her a bouquet of flowers and a big hug.
It was clear, simply from the looks on Harry and Meghan’s faces, that the boy had left a lasting impression.
“Luke’s favorite person is Santa Claus…and now it’s Prince Harry,” Ms. Van Dartel, Luke’s school principal, said.
The royal couple have once again received international attention for their brilliant handling of an unexpected situation. It’s so refreshing to see royals who are so down to earth and in touch with the people!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to follow in the footsteps of Prince William and Kate Middleton in stealing the hearts of the world. Long may it continue.
