Prince Harry melts our hearts with adorable exchange with very ill kiddo

Prince Harry is a hugging machine!

The prince gave out a ton of his world-famous hugs on Monday as he met with seriously ill children at the WellChild awards, run by a charity of which he is a patron. The awards honor children who have inspired other by living their life to the fullest despite battling serious illnesses.

Harry gave 5-year-old Ollie Carroll of Cheshire, northwest England, a huge bear hug and the kiddo was all smiles hanging out with the prince. Carroll has the rare genetic condition Battens Disease and won the Inspirational Child (age 4-6) category.

While he gave out hugs, Prince Harry gave the camera a thumbs up.

Harry also had a funny exchange with a girl named Jessica, who won the Good Morning Britain Young Hero award. Jessica helps take care of her special-needs brother and she said sometimes he can be embarrassing. Harry quickly responded that his brother Prince William is embarrassing all the time!

In an emotional speech at the event, Harry said, "Watching these young people face challenges with such determination, positivity and good humour never fails to take my breath away.

"I am so fortunate to have had the chance of meeting you all and so proud to be associated with this fantastic charity."

Prince Harry has been spending a lot of time with the youth and sick children around the globe. His charitable work reminds us a lot of the work his mother, Princess Diana did, continuing to make us adore the spare heir even more.
