Prince Harry Breaks Royal Protocol For 5-Year-Old Boy With Down Syndrome

October 22, 2018

Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, visited Dubbo, Australia, as part of their royal tour. They were greeted at the airport by children, including 5-year-old Luke Vincent, who has Down syndrome.

Vincent’s school principal, Ann Van Dartel, made it clear to the children they were not allowed to touch the royal couple, as is protocol.

But as Prince Harry kneeled down to greet Vincent, he immediately threw his arms around the Duke of Sussex and then tugged on his beard.
