Prince Harry meets Jame Chalmer, infant

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their first child this Spring. We can only imagine how excited millions of people will be to get the first glimpse of their baby. In the meantime, we got a look at what Harry might be like as a father when he arrived at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital to learn more about the work of the Scar Free Foundation, who are dedicated to helping people scarred by acts of terrorism.

The People’s Prince appeared to be a little nervous when he interacted with a five-week-old baby named James, whose father is J.J. Chalmers, reportedly a friend of Harry’s.

When Harry reacted as James let out a cry, Chalmers said:

“It’s your turn next.”

Prince Harry reacted with a smile after doing a funny gesture with his hands and mimicking the baby’s cries.

Later in the day, Harry learned more about a new protein called Decorin used to help heal scar tissue. He was inquisitive and curious as he applied the thin film-like bandage to his hand. The dressing will be used to help armed forces personnel as well as civilians injured by terrorist attacks.

On the way out of the hospital, Prince Harry warmly greeted the staff and well-wishers who were waiting outside in the dreary weather for his exit. One woman gave him a big hug as a delighted crowd shouted and filmed what happened with their smartphones. You can definitely see that Prince Harry is a mega-celebrity in the UK.

Another engagement for Harry in Birmingham today was to dedicate a memorial to 31 British victims of a terrorist attack in Sousse, Tunisia in June 2015. The modern sculpture at Birmingham’s Cannon Hill Park represents the lives of the victims as individual streams according to the Royal Correspondent for the Daily Mail, Rebecca English.

The memorial is also a remembrance for those killed in another terrorist attack at the Bardo Museum in Tunis on March 18, 2015.

Harry walked to the centerpiece of the memorial and laid down a single white rose. He addressed the family and friends of those who died in the attack.

“I would like to pay my deepest respects to you and officially dedicated this memorial to your loved ones,” said Harry.
