Prince Harry dressed up as a super hero for a Christmas charity message
Prince Harry transformed into Spider-Man this Christmas, for a special video message for the Scotty’s Little Soldiers charity.
Harry, 38, donned the superhero’s costume for a clip for the charity, which supports young people who have lost a parent in the British Armed Forces.
The video was shared during the charity’s annual Christmas party, which had the theme Heroes and Villains.
“Christmas is a time when we miss our loved ones really, really badly. And that’s okay. But, at the same time, it can be possible to feel guilty for having fun without our parents,” Harry said in his video.

“But I’m here to assure you that our parents always want us to have fun, okay? So don’t feel guilty. You’re allowed to have the best time ever, especially with the Scotty’s Little Soldiers community.
“So go out there, have the best time, and Merry Christmas.”
At the party, the children were told that villains were trying to ruin Christmas and they were tasked with “defeating them” as part of the theme.
“Use your teamwork, your brains, and your brawn and you do exactly that,” Harry instructed the children. “Find them, and don’t let them ruin Christmas.”
In 2019, Harry dressed as Father Christmas in a video for the same event.
The charity was established in 2010 by Nikki Scott, whose husband, Corporal Lee Scott, died in Afghanistan.
Harry first met her at the Party at the Palace back in 2017 – he and wife Meghan Markle chose Scotty’s as a charity to benefit from their wedding.
The charity offers children and parents support through education, group events, and gifts.
