Prince Harry was close to tears while meeting children orphaned by drugs and murder in Brazil.
His visit to Acer – a project to help disadvantaged children in Diadema outside Sao Paulo – no doubt raised emotions for the Prince who also lost his own mother as a child.
“I was completely overwhelmed and shocked,” he said. “I’ve never blubbed in public as far as I can remember but I was pretty damn close. It was amazing to hear those stories.”
The Prince showed off his skills in a game of football with some of the children. Earlier in the day he planted a tree in Cota 200, a small village in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest.
