Prince Harry

Prince Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor, Duke of Sussex (in English Henry Charles Albert David), says: "Christmas is a time when we miss our loved ones really, really badly and that's OK."

The Duke, who was 12 when his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, died in 1997, continued: “But at the same time, we can feel guilty about having fun without our parents.

But I'm here to assure you that our parents always want us to have fun, right?

So don't feel guilty.

You are entitled to have the best time, especially with this Scotty's Little Soldiers community.

Go out, have a good time and Merry Christmas.”

The video message was played to the members of Scotty's Little Soldiers at their annual Christmas party where the theme was heroes and villains.

Harry had a fling with an older reality star

In 2019, Harry dressed up as Santa Claus to deliver a video message to the children of the charity, which was set up by Nicky Scott in 2010 after her husband, Lance Corporal Lee Scott, died in Afghanistan a year earlier.

The charity was chosen to benefit from donations from Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018, writes "24 Hours".
