Prince Harry Reportedly Bought the Sweetest Christening Gift for Prince Louis
The royal family is gathering to celebrate Prince Louis's christening today, and Uncle Harry reportedly bought little Louis the perfect gift for the occasion. According to The Sun, Harry purchased a first edition of A.A Milne's classic book, Winnie-The-Pooh, for his nephew.
Harry reportedly spent roughly £8,000 on the book The sweet gift was inspired by Harry's childhood memories, a source told The Sun. "One of Harry’s happiest childhood memories was being read a bedtime story by his mother," an insider told the newspaper. "She loved all the old classics and Harry had the brilliant idea of starting a little library of first editions for Louis, Charlotte and George to enjoy as they get older."
Originally, Harry reportedly wanted to buy Through The Looking Glass for Louis, which was on sale for £24,000, but he decided on A.A. Milne's timeless story instead. 30,000 versions of 1926's original Winnie-The-Pooh were published, and Harry reportedly bought Louis's copy from Peter Harrington, a rare book store in London.
Prince Harry will attend his nephew's christening today, along with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The Duke and Duchess have had a busy summer so far: last week, the royal couple appeared at a Commonwealth Youth Challenge Reception in London, where Meghan looked stunning in a bright yellow dress.
Harry and Meghan will be joined at the christening by Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, and the Middleton family. Kate's parents, Michael and Carole will be in attendance, as will Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews, and James Middleton. Prince Louis's six godparents include a number of Will and Kate's close friends: Nicholas van Cutsem, Guy Pelly, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher, Lady Laura Meade, Mrs. Robert Carter (a.k.a. Hannah Gillingham), and Lucy Middleton. Find out why Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip won't be in attendance right this way.
