Prince Harry pens touching letter to mum grieving death of her 5-year-old son

Prince Harry has recently written a touching letter to a grieving mother of five-year-old boy who died after battling host of health problems.

The 30-year-old met Carson Hartley in 2014 when he handed him an Inspirational Child award and was so touched by boy's positive outlook he felt compelled to write letter about his sadness, the Mirror reported. The Merseyside youngster, who spent the first three years of his life at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, due to suffering with lung disease, a heart defect, Spina bifida and brittle bone disease, died in June.

Mum Kirsty Hartley said that her heart burst with pride and she cried after reading the letter, as it was so bittersweet, but it reflected exactly what they thought of Prince Henry of Wales when they first met him that he was a real and genuine person.
