Prince Harry was the life of the party as he visited a youth sports festival at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Monday, November 21.
Although the event was filled with cricket legends such as Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Curtly Ambrose and Sir Andy Roberts – it was the local children that the Prince formed a strong bond with.
And what a reception he was given! Hundreds of kids wearing Prince Harry T-shirts had packed the stadium for their chance to meet the 32-year-old.
Smiles of joy!

The prince made sure he spoke to as many kids as possible.
The group of children weren’t disappointed, either. Participating in a series of sporting activity stations, Harry made sure he met with as many of the kids as possible.
Always down for a bit of fun, the fifth-in-line to the British throne showed off his dance skills with the famous dab move.
The affectionate Brit was also giving out lots of his big, warm hugs.
14-year-old netball player Harmony Edwards was lucky enough to share an embrace with Harry.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate these guys’ Harry T-Shirts!

“It was great to meet him and he was really lovely,” her friend Rayana Regis explained.
The evening before, Harry took a moment to congratulate his grandparents The Queen and Prince Philip on their 69th wedding anniversary at a reception hosted by the Governor General, Sir Rodney Williams, at the newly renovated Clarence House in Antigua.
He also read out a message from The Queen, which read: “Prince Philip and I send our warmest wishes to Antigua and Barbuda on the occasion of this celebration to mark 35 years of independence.”
“I have fond memories of visiting your country in 1966, 1977 during the Silver Jubilee and again in 1985.”

Meanwhile, Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle has just wrapped filming for season six of Suits.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a photo of her breakfast and explained: “We wrapped season 6 of #suits at 5:30am today! Congrats to the incredible cast and crew. Thank you for an amazing season — and now it’s time for breakfast! (Let’s call this a frittata/scramble/shakshuka hybrid). Happy Sunday, friends! Xx.”
Now that she has some time off, it’s believed she and Harry will enjoy some time together.
Speaking recently to the Vancouver Sun, Meghan revealed her upcoming travel plans.
“December is holiday time and I’m really looking forward to seeing my family and travelling. Then, I’m the global ambassador for World Vision, which I’m really excited about and I’ve been working with them for the past year,” she explained to the publication.
“So, in January, I’m going to India for two weeks setting up a girls’ program that I’m really excited about and have been working on for the past six months. And then, come March, we start filming season 7 of Suits.”
And with Harry’s royal tour wrapping up early next month, the pair’s schedules are wide open to spend their first holiday season together!
