Prince Harry Has a Precious Reunion With a 97-Year-Old Widow in Sydney

Jun 7 2017 - 5:00pm

Prince Harry [1] had a special fan waiting to greet him when he visited Sydney on Wednesday. Ahead of the 2018 Invictus Games Launch Event, the famous royal had a precious reunion with Daphne Dunne, a war widow who famously stole a kiss from him when they first met [2] in 2015. Wearing her first husband Albert Chowne's medals, which were awarded to him posthumously after he died during the Second World War, the 97-year-old braved the cold and rain as she waited for Harry. Not only did the 32-year-old recognize her right away as he greeted her with a warm hug, but she even stole another kiss from him — this time on the other side.

The prince has certainly been keeping busy these past few weeks. Aside from preparing for the Invictus Games [3] in September, Harry recently traveled to Singapore for the first time [4] to visit the Jamiyah Education Centre and partake in a charity polo match for his organization, Sentebale.
