Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made his feelings clear for the Duke of Sussex following their joint appearance at this year's Invictus Games.
The politician, who joined Prince Harry at the Games in Justin's native Canada, hinted at their bond as he took to Instagram on Monday with a heartfelt update.
In a gushing post, Justin, 53, spoke of his pride and praised the "unstoppable" competitors. "They've faced challenges most of us can't imagine, and they keep pushing forward," Justin began. "That's what the Invictus Games are all about."
Reflecting on his time with Harry, the father-of-three continued: "These competitors are unstoppable, and Prince Harry and I are proud to cheer them on."
Alongside his message, Justin also included a montage of video clips, including a heartwarming snippet of the politician hugging Harry in the stands. Elsewhere, Justin's social media team included a video of the pair whooping and cheering as they enjoyed some sporting action at the Games.
Justin's followers quickly flooded the comments section with touching messages. One follower wrote: "These memories will last a lifetime," while a second remarked: "Great speech- happy you were there to support the Invictus Games and Prince Harry!" and a third added: "This makes my heart smile."

The monumental evening also saw Harry take to the stage to deliver his own speech which subsequently garnered a standing ovation.
"To our Invictus wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, kids, grandparents and friends, please stand and be recognized - we salute you," he said.
"To our comrades, friends or loved ones who we lost to battle or to suicide, tonight we honor you too."

The next Games are set to take place in Birmingham in 2027. Towards the end of his speech, Harry looked to the future and said: "Bring on Invictus Games Birmingham 2027. You have permission to party."
