Royal fans were touched
when a throwback photo came to light that demonstrated the pair’s special
bond – and how Harry has long done his best to look after Her Majesty.
The snap, which was shared
online shows the young Prince Harry walking with his grandmother and
great-grandmother, the late Queen Mother.
Harry is holding an open
umbrella but instead of covering himself, he holds it up so that his older
relatives will remain dry – even though they’re wearing hats and he isn’t!
“#PrinceHarry has always
been that person,” read the photo’s caption, and commenters rushed to
share their appreciation for the father-of-two.
Their responses included:
“This is the sweetest thing ever,” “I’ve never seen this pic.
What a sweet boy,”

“He is such a caring
soul,” and: “Protecting his grandmother, always!” Harry
and his wife Meghan Markle had a long-awaited reunion with the
Queen last month when they stopped off in Windsor on their way to the
Invictus Games in the Hague.
The 37-year-old spoke about
the meeting to the BBC a few days later, revealing that it was
“great to see her”.
Prince Harry and the Queen share a close bond
Speaking about their
conversation, which included a discussion of the Games, he said: “She had
plenty of messages for Team UK which I’ve already passed on to most of them so
it was great to see her. I’m sure she’d love to be here if she
could.”
It was the first time that
Harry had seen the Queen in person since attending Prince Philip’s funeral last
year and Meghan’s first since the couple moved to the US after stepping back as
senior working royals in 2020.
