Speaking to Nikki Christou, nine, from Enfield, North London, the Prince revealed he had just seen baby Prince George at Kensington Palace after travelling back from Essex with Prince William where they had attended the funeral of their close family friend Hugh van Cutsem. Young Nikki explained to the royal that she shared George's 22 July birthday and that her dad was called George and her brother Alexander – one of the baby's middle names. "Wow, very, very weird," Harry said. "I've just literally seen him. Normally when I see him he's either sleeping or crying but I've just seen him smile. It was the first time I've seen him smile."
