Harry meets burns victims during a tour of a Kathmandu hospital

Prince Harry once again proved that he had his mother's touch today when he visited a hospital unit for children suffering from appalling burns injuries on his final day in Nepal. Visibly moved, the royal, 31, made the children he met laugh by playing with their dolls and posing for photographs with staff and parents...and even high-fiving one youngster. Harry was at the Kanti Children's Hospital in Kathmandu, where he met 16 children aged between 11 months and 11 years, many of whom had been injured after being displaced by the earthquake that devastated parts of the country in 2015. It marks the final day of his official tour; this afternoon Harry revealed that he will stay in the country for another week to help rebuild a school that was badly damaged when an earthquake struck Nepal in 2015 saying he hoped to 'shine a light on the country's resilience.'

High-five! The Prince offers his palm to Pemba Sherpa, a five-year-old burns victim, while visiting the Kanti Children's Hospital in Kathmandu. Many of the youngsters being treated at the hospital attained their injuries following the earthquake which caused devastation in Nepal in 2015
Hero worship: Hundreds of Nepalese people gathered outside the hospital to catch a glimpse of Harry, who completes his five-day tour of Nepal today

Namaste! Harry practices the traditional Nepalese greeting with one young patient. The prince said he loved the little knitted dolls that the children had been given
