BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (BGIS) -- It was truly a princely moment for children in the paediatric ward, when Prince Harry, on his first tour of the day, visited the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, an institution named after his grandmother, following an official visit in 1964.
Starting the visit from the nursery-end of the ward, Prince Harry met first with seven-week-old baby boy, Jean-Luc Jordan and his father Mikail Jordan. He inquired about the health of the child and the expected length of stay in the institution.
This was followed by a tour of the medical and surgical sections of the Paediatric ward, where, along the route the Prince greeted, kissed and held children, as he spoke with parents, physicians, nurses and auxiliary staff about the care provided on the ward. He was even serenaded by a young patient who did her own version of "Umbrella", the Grammy-award winning tune of Barbados' megastar Rihanna.
Moments later, seven-year old Selwyn Sivers told the Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS) that he was excited about meeting Prince Harry and would tell him "Welcome to Barbados" and inquire whether he was "a great polo player?" His mother, Joan Best noted that she too was elated and would tell the Prince, "Welcome and come back again."
