Prince Harry dresses as Santa to send touching Christmas message to children of fallen British Forces soldiers

Jacob Jarvis21 December 2019

Prince Harry wore a Santa outfit as he recorded a touching Christmas message to the children of fallen British Forces' soldiers.

The Duke of Sussex wore a big white beard, festive suit and hat as he urged the youngsters to look out for one another.

In the message, shared by charity Scotty's Little Soldiers, he says: "Losing a parent is incredibly hard, but I know that every single one of you, by helping each other out, will have an amazing future ahead of you and you're going to be having a fantastic Christmas as well."

Harry lost his mother, Princess Diana, at a young age and has spoken of the impact this has had on him.

Continuing his speech, Harry said: "Your parents, they will never be forgotten and you will never be forgotten."

The message was recorded ahead of a party put on by the charity, which supports children and young people who have had parents die during service, and shown to them on Friday.

Harry encouraged the children to have fun at the party and "cause as much chaos as humanly possible".

Nikki Scott, founder of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, said: “We’re so grateful to The Duke of Sussex for kindly recording a video message for the bereaved Forces children that attended the Scotty’s Little Soldiers Christmas party earlier this month.

"It can be a difficult time of year for these kids, so receiving a heartfelt message from Prince Harry really meant the world to them."
