A young toddler made a break for it this afternoon in an attempt to get up close to Prince Harry.
The child slipped through a barricade while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were doing a public walkabout in Rotorua and wandered up to the Prince.
Harry was quick to spot the child and turned him around asking: "Whose child is this?"
![The Duke of Sussex jumped to help the young boy who had wandered through the barriers.](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/v2/KDOAYWFUZDUTTYO6WB2NCNKKMY.jpg?auth=c6f8cbbb28e7eb504825047a8e42d0d96ee7abb206d59f80fd1a3005cf1e3618&width=16&height=9&quality=70&smart=true)
Another young fan was also lucky enough to get her own royal encounter after being given a hug from Meghan.
