Prince Harry “made Princess Kate cry” with a touching nickname for her during his speech at the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding. Standing beside his brother at the 2011 ceremony, Harry demonstrated just how close the siblings truly were through his heartfelt address.

Describing the conclusion of the evening, he added: “Harry put his arms around around William and Kate and began to weep.

He then remarked: ‘”People don’t realise how much Harry and Kate love and help each other,” another guest commented on the moment. “It’s key to this whole thing”.” “.
In a previous discussion on the Royally US podcast in 2021, Mr Anderson stated: “Harry was always close to Kate and he always said she was the sister he never had.”
