The Prince laid a wreath at the monument to the War of Independence in Freedom Square, known as Vabaduse väljak, before attending a reception at the Estonian Parliament with government officials.Prior to the reception, however, Harry delighted waiting fans, chatting to them and posing for selfies. The 29-year-old even obliged when one supporter asked him to hold the crown-shaped sign she had brought bearing his name for a photo.
