Prince Harry held back tears as he spoke at an awards ceremony about what fatherhood has come to mean to him since the arrival of his first son, Archie.
Speaking at the WellChild Awards in London, which celebrates health professionals who go above and beyond to help seriously ill children, Harry had to step back from the microphone.
Leaning on the lectern, head bowed, he shared that at last year's ceremony Meghan was pregnant with baby Archie.
"… Last year when my wife and I attended we knew that we were going to have a child, no one else knew but we did."
Awards host Gaby Roslin stepped up to comfort Harry as an audible "Aw" came from the crowd followed by a round of applause.
