AceShowbiz - Prince Harry has a slew of heartwarming moments at the Invictus Games in Toronto, one of which involves a paper and a pen. The British prince stopped in the middle of Invictus to write a handwritten encouraging letter after learning that a former Invictus athlete's wife is currently battling cancer.
While touring the warm-up area at the cycling competition in Toronto's High Park Wednesday, Harry sat down for several minutes to write the letter. Harry offered 53-year-old Guylaine Catelain, wife of Colonel Lauren Catelain, words of encouragement. French captain David Travadon shared, "I asked Prince Harry to write her a note to encourage her. He took his time to write it and put a lot of care and thought into it."
Colonel Catelain, formerly chief of the French mountain commandos, previously took part at both the London and Orlando Invictus Games. But he, who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan, was unable to compete at this year's event because he has to be at home for his wife.
"It will be very important to her," captain Travadon added. "[Prince Harry] sent her his best wishes and told her the spirit of the games is with her."
Additionally, the prince had an adorable moment with a 2-year-old kid who sat next to him and it definitely will make your day. Emily, the daughter of Paralympian Dave Henson, was photographed stealing Harry's popcorn during the Sitting Volleyball Finals.
Harry was so immersed in the game and busy chatting with a man on his other side that he didn't realize that the toddler was calmly helping herself to handful after handful of the prince's snack. Once Harry realized, he pretended to take his snack away to tease the cute kid, who sat in her mother's lap.

The prince later began making funny faces while offering a salty treat to the tot. Some photos featured Harry making a duck face at Emily, who also sported the same expression. He was also seen apparently attempting to entertain the toddler with funny voice using his hands and mouth. Harry definitely will make a good daddy, don't you think so?
