Harry And Charlotte: Uncle Harry Meets Princess Charlotte For The First Time

Prince Harry and Princess Charlotte got to meet for the first time! According to People Magazine, Harry spent five weeks abroad and just returned home. Although he wasn’t around on May 2 for the baby’s birth (he was on a four-week secondment to the Australian Defense Force), Harry made time to meet the new royal baby this weekend. He headed to Amner Hall to hang out with his older brother, Prince William, his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, his nephew Prince George, and his new niece Charlotte.

“Hopefully the prince didn’t greet Charlotte empty handed, bringing some of the ‘cuddly toys‘ he was gifted for the princess by fans and well-wishers during his eight-day tour of New Zealand earlier in May.”

The day after his visit, Harry, 30, competed in a charity polo match in England.

Harry and Charlotte likely got along swimmingly, given the fact that the baby is just a few weeks old.

According to E! News, Harry had been looking forward to meeting his niece, but had to find the time to do so. He was previously quoted as saying that he hadn’t met the Princess as of last Monday.

“We’ll wait and see. That still hasn’t happened yet. I only got back yesterday afternoon. Time will tell when I have a chance,” he said. He did, however, find the time this weekend. And he’s likely so in love with the little one, whom he has said is “beautiful” on more than one occasion.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have had quite a few visitors at Amner Hall and are still getting adjusted to being a family of four. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, William recently revealed that his little girl doesn’t sleep much, and that his son is going non-stop, leaving two very tired parents behind.

“All the girls were asking how Princess Charlotte is and Prince George and whether they keep him up all night. He was saying he’s obviously really enjoying being a father and Princess Charlotte is actually keeping him up – and probably why his eyes are looking a little bit tired,” said the captain of the England women’s soccer team, who met with William last week.

“[The Duke of Cambridge] said he’d had a few sleepless nights. The baby will be up and George is running around now isn’t he? It reflects that he does a normal life away from his duty as prince,” said soccer team member, Jill Scott.

Perhaps Prince Harry would like to take Charlotte for a night or two.
