He might have been standing in front of one of the world’s most recognized faces, but a 4-year-old boy was reportedly convinced Prince Harry was not who he claimed to be.
The Duke of Sussex, who is soon expecting his first child with wife and the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, was visiting school children Wednesday at St. Vincent's Catholic Primary School in Acton, an area in London.

“When is the real Prince Harry coming?” the boy said back.

Eventually, Emmanuel was convinced. The hold-up? The royal apparently didn’t look the part.

“Every time I get to meet kids and they have been told a real-life prince is coming, the disappointment on their faces when they see me without a crown or a cape," Harry told the publication in 2016.
