Adorable moment Prince Harry embraces daughter of Team Ukraine Invictus Games athlete - before he pledges 'the world stands with you'

Prince Harry beamed as he realised that an adorable little girl who was asking for his autograph was the daughter of a Team Ukraine player at the Invictus Games in Canada. The Duke of Sussex, 38, was visibly touched at the heartwarming revelation as he chatted with fans - before delivering a message of solidarity with the war-torn nation. The sweet exchange, captured on Instagram Stories by her mother @nastia_tyutenko and attendee @virapasishnyuk, captured the moment the royal was signing what appeared to be a booklet of the country's players.

The child held out a particular page, to which the father-of-two replied: 'Your dad?'. When people in the audience confirmed, a grinning Harry questioned: 'Where is he now?'. When Oleksandr Androschuk - who last week won gold for snowboarding - approached, the Duke appeared delighted as both men laughed. 'I did not know this was your daughter!' Harry remarked. 'That's amazing, I love that. I think she's asking me to sign this?'.

The royal then penned his signature, and finished with an affectionate pat on the head. Prince Harry shared a sweet exchange with a young fan at the Invictus Games - before delivering a message of solidarity with Ukraine. The royal hugged his young fan in a sweet snap, as he posed for photos with supporters at the Games. In other snaps, he was pictured hugging his sweet fan. Elsewhere, another Team Ukraine supporter in attendance, @ann_iriska, captured Harry's message of support for the country - which this month marked the third year since Russia's invasion.

He, along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a 'surprise' appearance in front of a small audience. 'You can take that back to Ukraine with you,' Harry said. 'I said the same thing last time... I know there's new faces and new competitors here. 'The whole world, this whole Invictus community and the whole world stands with you. Take that back with you to Ukraine and thank you for taking the time to come and join us.

The Duke of Sussex , 38, was visibly touched at the heartwarming revelation as he chatted with fans - before delivering a message of solidarity with the war-torn nation. 'It would not be an Invictus games without you.'. Justin, who began his message by chanting 'Slava Ukraini' - meaning 'Glory to Ukraine' - added that it was 'a pleasure' to meet the team.

Remarking on their performance at the games, he joked: 'You could've left a few more medals for Canadians but OK!'. 'I know it's an incredibly worrisome time for loved ones back home,' Justin continued, remarking that Ukraine's time at Invictus 'inspires not just him but everyone who gets to watch'. Elsewhere last night, Harry was brought to tears as he was told he had changed the lives of so many people as an emotion charged ceremony closed the Invictus Games in Vancouver.

He visibly welled up after Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau spoke of the impact the Prince had on so many injured military veterans and their families with his work and dedication. The royal gave a thumbs up to the speech and looked down with tears in his eyes as the 20,000 people at the ceremony gave him a lengthy standing ovation. And 1,000 miles away at their home in California his wife Meghan posted to her Instagram a video clip of Harry being applauded with the words: 'So proud of you.'.

Elsewhere, another Team Ukraine supporter in attendance, @ann_iriska , captured Harry's message of support for the country - which this month marked the third year since Russia's invasion. During the two-hour ceremony the Prince and Trudeau each paid glowing tribute to the military veterans who have taken part in the games and saluted their courage and resilience. In his speech, the Duke of Sussex acknowledged the world was still 'full of strife and trauma'.

He delivered his address saying it was from 'one soldier to another' and said he wanted to honour not only those at the games but 'comrades, friends of loved ones lost to battle or to suicide'. Harry also took time to honour the four First Nations on whose land the games had taken place. He told leaders of the indigenous tribes: 'What your people have endured should never have happened.'. He continued: 'You show the world how to move forward. Armed with truth in order to achieve reconciliation.'.

Harry told the audience that the Invictus community was making the world a better place. 'You might swear allegiance to different flags, but you stand united in your decency, your compassion and your spirit of service. He, along with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a 'surprise' appearance in front of a small audience. 'I can't stand before you and promise there won't be challenging times ahead. But I promise you, you're better equipped now than you ever were before.'.
