The Duke of Sussex is taking after his mother, the late Princess Diana, while visiting wounded soldiers in Nigeria.
On Friday, May 10, Prince Harry visited the Nigerian Army Reference Hospital Kaduna. During the visit, he met with a wounded Nigerian soldier—a heartfelt and moving encounter that reminded many royal fans of the way Princess Diana conducted herself during a number of her royal visits with veterans, soldiers, as well as the sick, wounded and less fortunate.
While at Private Habu Sadiq, the Duke of Sussex took the soldier’s hand before asking him: “Are they helping you? Are you feeling better?” The moment was captured on video by People’s chief foreign correspondent, Simon Perry, who posted the exchange on Instagram.

“He’s so kind,” one royal fan commented on Perry’s Instagram post. “Like his mother.”

“I got chills seeing Harry like this, the spitting image of Diana. Just as kind, caring, and with so much love for helping others,” another fan posted.
“Diana x2,” another user posted in the comment section.
In a 2017 interview with People, Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer described his late sister’s hands-on approach during royal visits, in which she reportedly relied on the power of human touch to combat stigma, shame, judgment and stereotypes.
