As the world waits on the first photos of the newest royal baby, we couldn’t help but take a look back at all the adorable moments Prince Harry has shared with kids over the years.

We already know he’s an amazing uncle to George, Charlotte, and baby Louis. He’s also the proud godfather to several of his friends’ children, three of whom (Zalie Warren, Florence van Cutsem, and Jasper Dyer) played important parts in his wedding with Meghan back in May.

In fact, Harry has opened up about how his godchildren have helped him prepare for fatherhood. “I think the key to that is to grow up, but also to be able to stay in touch with your childhood side,” he said during a podcast interview. “If that means going to someone’s house and sitting there and playing PlayStation and kicking th..e a** of their son or whatever it is, then I’ll try and do that. I’ve actually had a lot of practice for that.”

And we can’t forget how his relationship with his own mother, Princess Diana, has influenced so much of his outlook on life. She was known for many things, but most importantly for how fiercely she loved and protected her two boys.

Take a look below to see even more proof of how great a dad Prince Harry will be now that he and Meghan have a family of their own!
