Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, disguised as Spider-Man, released a surprise video message for the bereaved military children.
He donned a superhero costume and removed his mask, but revealed his true identity at the end of a specially recorded message for teenagers at Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity for the children and youth of fallen British military personnel.
Harry, who was 12 when his mother Diana, Princess of Wales died in 1997, told the children: “Christmas is a time when we really, truly miss our loved ones, and that’s okay. But at the same time, you can feel guilty for having fun without your family. But I can assure you, our families are always Time wants us to have fun, okay? So don’t feel guilty. You can have a great time, especially with this Scotty’s Little Soldiers ensemble. Have fun and Merry Christmas.”
The video was released a day after the Prince and Princess of Wales’ US trip was marred by a horse racing scandal. As a result, Prince William’s godmother quit her job.
Susan Hussey has resigned as a royal aide after repeatedly questioning the black British boss of a domestic violence charity about where she “really” came from.
