What is it about the Royals that fascinates us so? From our obsession with The Crown to practically watching every move that Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton make (don't judge; we know you do it too), it seems we never tire of them or hearing about what they'll do next.
Maybe it's because, despite growing up in the British Monarchy (bar Markle, of course), they all seem so normal and relatable. From the engagement that was initially celebrated over a cooked chicken dinner to hands-on parenting qualms, we see a glimpse of ourselves in them.
Mostly it's down to the fact that they all seem so genuine; putting their heart and soul into the causes that move them, to shunning royal protocol to embrace a delighted worker devoted to charity - they are expected to do a lot of these things given their family history but they do it with a beaming pride that draws us all in.
And Prince Harry has been one who has been stepping up his royal duties as he prepares for his upcoming nuptials. e prepares for his forthcoming nuptials. Just yesterday, he spent some time with a group of young people in London, as part of an initiative called the Fit and Fed campaign, which aims to make sure kids have adequate access to free school lunches.

And there was hockey and sports, though it looks like the kids gave him a run for his money in the games department.

And as reported by Kensington Palace, he also spoke to young volunteers and coaches taking part in an activator session, organised by Sport at the Heart – a community charity which is part of the Fit and Fed campaign. The activator sessions are run by the Street Games Training Academy to support young people to become sports coaches in their local community.
It's clear Harry is really coming into his own; for so long it was big brother William that did the royal visits yet Harry while there's no sign of him giving up the day job just yet, is a natural with the kids.
You just have to love the heart-warming-ness of it all.
