ROYALS REPORT PRINCE HARRY

The Duke of Sussex recorded a special message to celebrate the 75th anniversary of children’s favorite Thomas the Tank Engine. The prince introduces a new show airing on Netflix in the U.S. May 1 called “Thomas and Friends: The Royal Engine,” which has a storyline that includes Harry’s father and grandmother, Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, as animated characters. Set when the Prince of Wales was a boy, the story sees the friendly engine taking Sir Topham Hatt, the controller of the railway, to Buckingham Palace to receive an honor. In his introduction, Prince Harry is seen sitting in an armchair, reading from a book about the train’s adventures.
