Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on their first royal tour together – while also announcing they’re expecting their first child – it seems the snaps of Harry with adorable children have jumped up a notch.

He recently had hearts melting as he was pictured with his arms around five-year-old Luke Vincent, who was part of the royals warm welcome to the outback city of Dubbo, Australia. The Buninyong Public School pupil was one of the last to be greeted by Prince Harry and Meghan, and completely stole the show. 

However even before he was awaiting impending fatherhood, Harry has always had a knack of being captured in ridiculously cute moments with kids making everyone everywhere swoon (just us?). Remember that iconic photo of him pulling faces to the young girl with popcorn at the Invictus Games? Or the time he pulled faces at a girl who took to playing with his tie at an awards ceremony?
