Prince Harry is a ‘warm and genuine’ person

Prince Harry has been hailed as a "warm and genuine" person.
The 32-year-old royal has been in Sydney, Australia, this week to launch the 500-countdown for the 2018 Invictus Games this week, and during his visit he met with 97-year-old fan Daphne Dunne, who he is believed to have met with before, and greeted her with a kiss on the cheek, the Belfast Telegraph website has reported.
And the elderly woman has praised the flame-haired hunk – who is currently dating ‘Suits’ actress Meghan Markle – as being a kind-hearted and "lovely young man" who "really acres" about other people.
Speaking about her encounter with Harry, Daphne said: "He kissed me on the other cheek this time. He really is a lovely young man and he’s warm and genuine and really cares about the injured servicemen and women."
Harry set up the Invictus Games in 2014, which sees military veterans who have suffered an injury or illness partake in a range of sporting activities, and next year’s international sporting extravaganza will see over 500 competitors from almost 20 different nations go head to head in over 10 sports.
And Daphne believes the organisation is a great idea and Harry has done a "fantastic job" in supporting the veterans who relied on athletics to "fix their lives".
She continued: "He’s doing a fantastic job supporting them."
And Harry can’t wait for the Games to take place next year, and has promised the event will be the "best, most competitive, uplifting and inspiring sport" anyone will ever witness.
Speaking previously, he said: "I promise you the sport you will see in front of you is some of the best, most competitive, uplifting and inspiring sport you will ever, ever see. And I can safely say that sitting there and watching these guys and girls compete against each other, people who have fought together and recovered together, to see them serving their country once more on the sporting field. Seeing, literally, lives change through sport is one of the most uplifting and inspiring things that I think you’ll ever see."
