This World Book Day I’ll be... the Duke of Sussex

- By Emma Powell Deputy Showbusine­ss News Editor

IT makes for adorable and hilarious snaps each year as children don their costumes.

And this World Book Day was no different, with one youngster dressing as Prince Harry.

Make-up artist and hair stylist Melissa Wright, 36, took inspiratio­n from the royal’s controvers­ial autobiogra­phy Spare for her son’s outfit.

Three-year-old Ellis was pictured with a comb over and an orange beard while holding a cover of the book.

World Book Day is an annual charity event which started in 1998 where children can dress up as a character from a book for school. On Ellis’s costume, Ms Wright told the Mirror: ‘He is quite feisty, he’s definitely got an opinion, which then kind of led me to Harry.’

Ellis was not the only one to dress up as a royal for the day, as one girl turned herself into Queen Elizabeth II, as depicted in the illustrate­d story of her life from the Little People, Big Dreams series.

Bunny, two, let out her inner fashionist­a in all-red, white and blue – including a red wig – as late designer Vivienne Westwood from her picture biography in the same series.
