The Duke initially spoke to four-year-old Henry Waines who won the Inspirational Child award in the 4-6 years category. Henry was born with serious health problems and appeared on the call with his parents Ben and Shevonne. 

Upon hearing his voice, the Duke gushed: "You sound just like my son Archie…you have the same little squeaky voice. I love it."

Meghan and Harry are raising their family in California

During a chat with 10-year-old Shakeerah Crowther, the 38-year-old spotted the youngster's giant giraffe balloon.

Harry, who has been patron of WellChild since 2007, attempted some sign language to speak to Shakeerah, the only known survivor of a rare bacterial brain infection acquired during treatment for a brain tumour. 

Beaming from ear to ear, Harry quizzed: "Shakeerah, how long have you had that giraffe for? Because Archie has a giraffe as well that has lasted a very long time and we call him Gerald."

The Duke of Sussex shares his two children with his wife Meghan Markle. The couple are raising their family in Santa Barbara, California. Their lavish Montecito mansion features everything from a spa and tennis court to an outdoor pool and private playground.
