Prince Harry breaks with protocol to comfort bereaved

The second Sun Military Awards - otherwise known as the Millies - were handed out in London on 16 December at the Imperial War Museum. The event, an initiative of the Murdoch newspaper, The Sun, recognises the bravery of service and civilian personnel working in the Armed Forces, as well as members of the public who provide support to the services.

Here Sky News reports that Prince Harry broke with protocol to comfort the bereaved.

The Sun in its editorial Just Like his Mum (17/11) said that with his own Afghanistan service fresh in his mind, Prince Harry knew just how "Band of Mothers" campaigner Jane Whitehouse was feeling.

As Jane wept for her lost son, Harry embraced her tenderly. It was one of many inspiring moments that made our Millies - The Sun Military Awards - such a life-enhancing evening.

I hope William will bring in a FRESH set of standards for "Royal Protocol" once he is King. Being Royal doesn't mean you are not human..

Good on him. He is being human above being all stoic. His mothers good example has worn off on him

[berlinmitte10117]

'Royal protocol' is outmoded and nearly spelt the end for the Royal family when Diana died. Good on Harry!
