‘If you find someone you love in your life, then hang on to that love’ Princess Diana
PRINCE Harry greeted well-wishers outside Windsor Castle yesterday and told them he couldn’t wait to get married today.
Joined by his brother and best man, the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince looked relaxed during the 10-minute walkabout on his last night as a single man.
It echoed the eve of William’s wedding in 2011 when the pair greeted royal fans with an impromptu public appearance on The Mall in central London.
Harry shook hands with dozens of wellwishers who shouted “good luck”. At one point he was handed a small teddy bear wearing a red sweater and gave it a hug.
Asked if he was looking forward to his big day, he replied: “I’m really excited. I can’t wait.” He was asked twice if he was nervous, but he did not answer, and shortly afterwards when he was asked how he was feeling, he said: “Great, thanks.”
In the melee, Harry rushed to comfort Enes Bozkurt, 11.
Enes said: “He asked, ‘Are you OK’ because I got crushed by photographers. He asked my name so I told him and he said, ‘How long have you been waiting to meet us?’ William shook my hand.” Her mother Leigh, 47, of Bracknell, Berks, said: “I took my son Cameron out of school early to come and soak up the atmosphere and stood for two hours with the hope of seeing someone. Poor Enes got crushed but it worked out in our favour.”
Meghan O’Shea, seven, of Holyport, near Maidenhead, said the Prince told her: “There aren’t very many Meghans with an H around.” Little Meghan said of her namesake: “I think she’s very nice.”
Harry told a woman who had travelled from Toronto: “Thank you so much for coming all this way.” And he joked with others that he was just going to the pub. The Prince managed to spot a familiar face, racing over to greet his friend Dean Stott, who has just broken the world record for cycling the Pan American Highway while raising money for mental health charity Heads Together.
Dean said: “He said I was looking skinny. If he’s nervous, he’s hiding it very well.”
