Harry’s bond with grieving service kids
PRINCE Harry has told bereaved children of members of the Armed Forces how they share a bond due to having lost a parent.
In a letter to children in Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity supporting youngsters who have lost a parent in service, Harry said they were all in his “thoughts and heart” on Remembrance Sunday. He said: “We share a bond without ever meeting one another, because we share in having lost a parent.
“I know first-hand the pain and grief that comes with loss and want you to know that you are not alone.”
Harry, whose mother Princess Diana died when he was 12, said: “I hope you can find comfort and strength in knowing that their love for you lives and shines on.”
The charity was founded by mum-of-two Nikki Scott in 2010, after the death of her husband Cpl Lee Scott in Afghanistan.
Ms Scott said: “We are so grateful to Prince Harry for his continued support.”
