Prince Harry stays with locals in Nepal, poses with babies & rebuilds a school

149804PCN_Harry05

If you’re wondering why the press has been so great around Prince Harry’s Nepal trip, I have two explanations. One, Harry is just a great person and he’s extremely lovely when he’s traveling. Two, Jason Knauf (POOR JASON) is actually traveling with Harry this week. We usually speak of Poor Jason in pitying terms, because he has to deal with the Cambridges’ work-shy and shady ways. But it’s good to see that if Jason gets to work with a personable and hard-working royal figure, he can actually do good work. I’m including a photo of Poor Jason in Nepal too!

These photos are of Harry’s visit to the Kanti Children’s Hospital in Kathmandu. He visited several children who are still struggling with injuries suffered during last year’s earthquake. He was lovely, as always. The trip to the hospital was supposed to be one of his last stops of the Nepal trip, but Harry decided at the last minute to stay in Nepal for another week. He released a statement: “The people I have met and the beauty of this country make it very hard to leave. Thankfully however, I’m not leaving just yet. I’m so grateful to have this opportunity at the end of my official tour to do my small bit to help.” He will be working with volunteers to rebuild a school. Not only that, he’s staying with locals. He doesn’t need to stay at a fancy hotel or anything. Because HONK FOR HARRY.

Meanwhile, in case all of that wasn’t enough, Poor Jason and Harry decided to release some private images on the KP Twitter account from Harry’s trip. The photo of Harry with the baby? OH MY GOD. Jason, you really earned your paycheck this week. Of course, “Harry + babies” serves as a distraction from the shadiness of Poor Jason’s primary job too.

    Be still, my loins…

    Him with that baby is almost just too
    much!!! 😵😍😭😘😳

    And he looks like great fun with little kiddos and it warms my heart. I just love this man.

    • doofus says:

      I know, the chub on that baby is so dang cute…and Prince Harry clearly loves doing this sort of thing.

      I have to say, his demeanor when he’s doing this kind of work reminds me of when I see Jolie with the kiddos she visits. you can see on both of their faces how much they enjoy doing this and it appears that both like doing THIS more than their “official” duties (as PRINCE and ACTRESS/DIRECTOR). I guess they both know that THIS work is worth more, in many ways.

    • HeidiM says:

      Honk! Are we still honking?

    • Shambles says:

      And the look on Harry’s face as he’s poking wittle chub chub’s cheek…

      Again, sir, I bequeath you…. LET ME BEAR YOUR OFFSPRING

      • INeedANap says:

        That is a spectacularly cute baby though. I mean, that is some Gerber-baby level cute. Those cheeks!

        You can tell by how Hot Ginge Harry is holding the aforementioned Earth-shatteringly Cute Nepalese Behbeh that he’s had practice holding small children. That’s a man who’s comfortable with kidlets.

    • Anne tommy says:

      Somebody from “The Firm” has to try and counter the Cambridge’s bad PR. Cynical or realistic? But if it helps in some way it’s better than just shooting grouse. Don’t see his physical attraction at all, but whatever floats your boats (or boaty mc boatfaces…).

      • Caity says:

        See, I think Harry makes the Cambridges look even worse. He spends extra time on his tour, looks delighted to spend time with every person he comes across, and doesn’t need any special treatment.

      • Hudson Girl says:

        I agree, Caity. He makes them look worse.

        Honk for Harry!

  2. KB says:

    Ovaries exploded. I’m dead.

  3. Bethie says:

    He’s such a wonderful human.

    • Lauren II says:

      Harry seems to have the compassion and charisma of his dear mother Diana. Just brings tears to my eyes. Harry is the only hope for the Royal Family.

      • Amy says:

        I think about his mom every time I see him “in the field”. What a great heritage!

      • nikko says:

        @ Lauren II, I was thinking the exact same thing. He’s the one the people love, William should step down and Harry should be King!!!

  4. AlmondJoy says:

    Omg. THESE BABIES. This makes me smile hard my face is hurting 😩

    • Betsy says:

      It just reminds me of when my sons were in the NICU and I can’t not cry.

      But go Harry! Just like the Rock visiting that hospital, I like when famous people draw attention (and donors, one hopes) to hospitals.

  5. aims says:

    Harry would be a great father. He lights up when he’s around kids. I admire his dedication to his work. He’s lovely.

  6. Beckysuz says:

    So that’s what poor Jason looks like. Somehow I pictured him differently in my head.

    I’m so loving this whole trip for Harry. This is how it’s done people(William). Using your privilege to help others. Not endless skiing and shady excuses.

    • What was that says:

      Me too!..Though is is as sickly pale as I expected..hanging around a computer all day ..reading all the negatives and trying to think up some positives only to be crushed by the ego of No 1 son and his petulance..!!

    • Dara says:

      Right? Poor Jason has been replaced in my mind with Cute Jason. I’m doing a lusty Honk! for Harry and a small, polite beeping sound for Jason…

    • INeedANap says:

      Gotta be honest. I am Team #PoorJason for sympathy reasons and because I think he’s done the best anyone could do with the mess he’s been given, and he’s certainly earned this Nepalese Sojourn with Cute Babies. But if I didn’t know who he was…he kinda has the stereotypical d-bag look, no? Give him some more babies to cheer him up.

    • susanne says:

      Has no one else commented on Poor Jason’s shocking similarity to Scott Disick (the s is silent)? I can’t believe I’m the only one seeing this.
      And, Hooooonk! Love me some Harry. His warmth and genuineness shine right through. He truly has Diana’s touch. She would be so incredibly proud.

      • Polly says:

        Not the only one, I was wondering why there was a photo of scott disick in this post!

  7. Tash says:

    Sweet Lawrd! Morrissey needs to see these pics…he would change his tune re: Harry 🙂

  8. lower-case deb says:

    the pooch!!! the pooch! shiny coat and beautiful eyes and all!
    is that a local breed of dog?

  9. kai says:

    Is this #PoorJason in the sunglasses?? Never saw a photo of him. I’ve always pictured him as a weepy 18-year old.

  10. Lizzie McGuire says:

    HONK FOR HARRY! Thanks Kaiser! The picture of him & the baby is the cleansing palate everyone needs from Prince William & his trip to Kenya.

    Poor Jason gets to finally work with someone who actually works. Ahhh! I’ll show myself out.

    • Christin says:

      If I were Jason, I’d keep focusing on my success story (Harry) and give as minimal attention to the “crisis couple”.

  11. Mia4s says:

    Why did you post this??! I have work to do and all I want to do is stare! 😍

  12. Dick Move says:

    Another ovary explosion over here.

  13. GiGi says:

    Well this is just delightful. Oh, no need for Harry to scurry back to his country house immediately after (or, perhaps in lieu of) official business… he’ll just stay on a week and help out where he can… #takeanotecambridges

  14. QQ says:

    Between That Chunky Baby/dog and his hairy arms… Im DONE * throws Panties at Screen*

  15. kri says:

    I am getting a giant Ginger Prince tattoo on my back. Take that, Affleck Phoenix! Really, Harry is killing me.

    • Lizzie McGuire says:

      Let’s get matching Prince Hot Ginger tattoos in our backs. Now take that, Ben Affleck ugly back tattoo & whatever regret Casey is getting.

  16. mm says:

    Just love that photo.

  17. Dragonlady sakura says:

    Like I wasn’t already obsessed with hot gingers, you post Harry with a baby?! 😍

  18. MV says:

    Adorable kid and hot hot prince. And Jason looks rather nice too.
    But my favorite pic is the one wih the dog…what a beauty

  19. Betti says:

    Someone make him a father already! #poorjason is finally getting to work with someone who plays ball!

    • INeedANap says:

      I think #PoorJason is going to end up as some royal baby’s godparent. He’s been combination mother, secretary, drill sergeant, and cleaner.

  20. Barrett says:

    I am so touched

  21. SusanneToo says:

    1,000,000 HONKS. Cuteness overload there.

  22. Jaded says:

    The Lamebridges must be seething. Can you believe the world of difference between Harry and Willnot?

    That dog is everything. “I am Master of My Domain.”

  23. ClaireB says:

    #PoorJason reminds me of the PharmaDoucheBro a bit. Who is covering for the Lamebridge’s laziness while he’s away? I do wish Harry would detach himself from the Cambridge’s PR and either go back to Clarence House’s with C&C or get his own. The “throw Harry under the bus” distraction stories might not happen with such frequency or with so little pushback.

    Harry, you are an awesome example of what modern royalty is supposed to be. People who recognize their privilege and use it to help those in need and to bring attention to good causes. And, Harry, please put on some sunscreen! The mom in me is distressed at your royal ginger redness!

    • bluhare says:

      +1, ClaireB. Harry might have his flaws (I’ve read he can be a bit whiny and privacy obsessed too), but he does his job well.

      • ClaireB says:

        @bluhare, I’m going to imagine that as he gets older, he’s maturing as well, and seeing enough of the world to be grateful for what he’s got instead of whiny! Apparently I need Perfect!Imaginary!Harry to crush on, even though he’s 6 years younger than I am.

      • Polly says:

        I agree, he’s not perfect but he is great at his job, especially in comparison to his brother. He definitely has loads of charisma, but I don’t see the “hot” in him or any of the brf.

  24. Canadian Becks says:

    Nice to see #poorjason still has a full head of hair.

    I pictured him with a scalp of patchy swatches left over from pulling them out by the handful.

  25. terrence says:

    …yeah, Harry just needs to tour the world, hugging chubby-cheeked babies as he goes.

    Schedule something like: Monday 9:00-9:15am. Breakfast, scones and tea. Hug chubby-cheeked Chef baby. 9:15-9:30am. Skype with the Queen. Hug computer. Hug Baby Bill Gates/Tim Cook. 9:30am-11am. Hug row of Babies who climbed Mount Everest as volunteers for Walking with the wounded. 12 noon. Lunch. Eat haggis. Hug baby sheep.

    And so on.
    Cause he’s a hugger, that Hazza 🙂
    (love him!)

  26. Caela says:

    HONK! Nice to see a royal using their wealth and status for good… *side eyes Will and Kate*

  27. Sushi says:

    Yes, keep Harry’s story going

  28. vava says:

    HONK. Looking forward to more photos and posts of this guy.

    Nice that Jason could get away from the Cambridges for a few days.

  29. bluerunning says:

    That baby picture is everything! I’m not even looking at him, just that chubby-cheeked cutie pie! And, of course- Go Harry!

  30. Anastasia says:

    OK, my uterus doesn’t even work anymore, and this is KILLING me. And it.

  31. Green Is Good says:

    Oh, boy. This makes Willnot and Duchess Do-Nothing look like total lazy, useless asses.

    Edit: Wills is going to an Ex’s wedding, and his wife will be shopping, lunching and getting her hair done.

  32. failfailfail says:

    HONK at ginger-awesomeness!

  33. Stephanie says:

    Maybe this is Harry’s way of flipping the bird to his brother? There is no way in hell the Cambridges can one up him for staying an extra week. You have to give Harry his props. It was determined before he was born what life he had to live and he is owning it with such grace.

    • Original T.C. says:

      Honking for my favorite hot Ginger. Those pictures just warm my heart so much. I honestly think Harry likes to be useful and needed. He doesn’t believe in showing up posing and then leaving. The man likes to go full in and accomplish something. I love that he is staying for another week.

      That picture of him and the adorable baby is going in my computer slide show! LOL.

    • Dara says:

      If he is saying a metaphorical eff-you to his brother with this trip, it’s about eff-ing time! After seeing all of the (planted) stories about “lazy, directionless Harry” that have been popping up in the media, I hope Harry has finally had enough of that nonsense and is taking the gloves off to defend himself.

      I would think the instinct in the royal family to not upstage or publicly embarrass the future monarch must be a strong one, but in this case I think some thorough and very public shaming of Bill the Normal might be in order.

      • KB says:

        He has the added benefit of being beloved by the public. I doubt it’s an eff-you though, he seems more the type to shrug it off and keep his head down and get the work done. I don’t think he’s as petty as William.

  34. Smd says:

    Honk! Keep the posts coming. I love how none of the photos look staged. Harry appears to be warm, happy and genuinely engaging with all those he meets. Plus, he is helping to rebuild a school where he will probably do physical labor and not just visit for 25 minutes and sulk. He is the real deal. Ahem, #youranswertoworkshywills# Liz!

  35. Fan says:

    Honk for harry

  36. hallielea says:

    He’s so lovely and really seems to carry on his mothers spirit. Honk!

  37. La princesita says:

    BAM! my ovaries just exploded!

  38. mytake says:

    Honk! Current favorite public figure: Capt. Wales!

  39. Lucy says:

    What an amazing guys he is.

  40. Tiffany says:

    You see that look on Jason’s face, it is the look of someone who is relieved to be with a client who listens.

    I knew there was a reason things were just ridiculous with Willnot and Kannot. Jason just did not care and was happy to be someplace else.

  41. Rae says:

    Still HONKING!

    (Making sure we get more delectable photos).

  42. blairski says:

    I love Nepal! It’s a wonderful country. And yes, Harry seems to handle his duties in a manner that should be an example to his sibling.

  43. Katie says:

    Sigh. Those arms.

  44. Jb says:

    Love those photos!! Wish the British press would put him on some covers and ignore the other 2. Beep beep honk honk

  45. JustJen says:

    It’s like looking at a young male version of Princess Diana. She had a way about her, and so does he.

  46. Becks says:

    Puppies, babies and Harry! Cuteness overload!

  47. kg says:

    Honk – keep em coming!

  48. Diabla2santa says:

    Idk if staying extra days was really a last minute thing, but man that’s exactly the kind of commitment we need.

    HONK!!!

  49. word says:

    Wait what. Who is Jason? Does he work for the royal family? Never heard of him.

    • Snowflake says:

      Me neither. Someone please fill us in. I clicked the link too and I still don’t see what/who this guy is.

      • KB says:

        I think he’s their press guy. He’s the one who has to come up with creative new ways to excuse W&K laziness.

  50. hogtowngooner says:

    Wow he even stayed overnight in a local family’s house. Couldn’t imagine the two twits doing that!

    Harry is saving this generation of royals almost single-handedly and all W+K want to do is throw him under the bus for making them look bad. Hopeless.

  51. Lurker says:

    I just had to come over here and hang out with Sweet Prince Ginge after reading about the Balding Dolt and the Eyeliner Missus.

    Oh Harry…my tubes are gone and I really don’t want any more kids but hot d*mn I might reconsider for you. 🙂

    SWOON.

  52. Smd says:

    @Tiffany, totally agree! I feel for Jason..can you imagine when he first took the job? He probably thought he had landed THE perfect, ideal job. He would be guiding the “New Royals” into a different Era with all of them as a team on how to deal with the media, privacy and image. Now? He’s not sure what they heck he was thinking and I can only imagine after a couple of weeks with Harry what fresh hell going back to WorkshyWills is gonna seem like. #@timetogo.

  53. Molly Fulton says:

    HONK! I think my ovaries just exploded.

  54. KEH says:

    He is just utter perfection. I totally agree, whether intentional or not this is the sweetest flipping the bird to the Cambridges!

  55. TreadStyle says:

    Sigh. This makes my day. I love him. he is so earnest and genuine when he is out doing work like this, he’s one of a kind.

  56. Vinot says:

    Poor Jason is super young! I expected an older & more exasperated-looking insurance appraiser-type. No honks for PJ.

  57. paddyjr says:

    Okay, no work getting done today. I’m just going to stare at these pictures. I never liked the term “cougar”, but I might consider it if Harry would agree to be my little cub! Seriously, give me pics of Harry with children over whatever crumbs W&K decide to throw their subjects’ way anytime. Good job, Jason!

  58. Sunsetsnow says:

    #Poor Jason is smiling in relief to get a break away and to get a chance to do his job. Harry is adorable as usual.

  59. TeamAwesome says:

    Ooh. Does this mean pics of construction worker Harry with muscles on display are in our future? Lovely.

    And Poor Jason Iooks like the picture of Boy, Frat from any college guide.

    • Smd says:

      Shirtless picture must happen! Plus I really want this post/thread to out number the one about the work shy man child who needs his trust fund cut off!

  60. teacakes says:

    he totally looks like my mental image of Ron Weasley there, even if his name is Harry 😀 Nice to see at least one of the younger UK royals isn’t completely useless.

    and that adorable little fatty puff of a baby!

  61. Ravensdaughter says:

    Here’s a man who needs to have babies of his own. Please Harry, just choose the right wife (no Waity Katey’s).
    Remember the pics of him with the Labrador puppy? He needs one of those, too.

  62. Emily says:

    Honk for #PoorJason !

  63. OctoberSong says:

    Harry, just let me bore your mixed race offspring already!!! *Le Sigh*

  64. Kayla Lorentz says:

    I’ve been trying so hard to get over him… then you had to go and post this.

  65. Snowflake says:

    I don’t even want kids and I think my ovaries exploded

  66. Pants says:

    Just leave me here with these pictures, I love him!

  67. The Original Mia says:

    Too cute! Harry is really showing his true character by staying and working with the relief organization. He’s living what he preaches. He’s sincere and it shows. He is an asset to the Queen and the BRF. Get this man a dukedom! Not really sure why the Queen is waiting. He’s done quite a bit to deserve it.

    I must admit I am shocked #PoorJason is with him. Was he supposed to sabotage the press coverage to bolster the Lamebridges or has he literally jumped ship to the better prince? Inquiring minds want to know.

    • Christin says:

      He does seem genuinely interested. As someone already stated, he definitely has his mother’s natural charm and empathy.

      Let us hope Jason isn’t also using this trip to cook up some lame PR to save his other clients at Harry’s expense.

  68. Andrea says:

    Oh my ovaries! I don’t want children, but I think I’ll make an exception for Harry!

  69. susanne says:

    The piece about staying with locals blew me away. To me, this is what travel is about- real immersion in a culture and people. The best experiences happen this way in terms of connecting with people, experiencing hospitality and somebody’s grandma’s cooking….heaven. For a royal, this is a huge departure. My respect for him is even bigger. And he’s sooooo beautiful.

  70. LadyAnne says:

    Honk honk for Lovely Harry and his dedication !

  71. Guesto says:

    It’s nice that Harry is passionate and engaged.

    Beyond that, not really getting the OTT adoration here. He’s not doing anything exceptional for someone in his very privileged position.

  72. (Original, not CDAN) Violet says:

    Harry is such a sweetheart to extend his visit in order to do some volunteer work! Also, that photo of him and the baby made my ovaries explode. Love him.

  73. Nanea says:

    Honking for Harry again.

    It’s good to see he prefers helping to pouting.

  74. Sunsetsnow says:

    Honk for #Poor Jason!

  75. Cricket says:

    Honking again for Good King Harry…
    and high five honk for #poorJason

  76. Paula says:

    Honk for Harry again! That pic with the baby made me swoon so hard…

  77. Magnoliarose says:

    The sexy ginger is intentionally ramping it up to torture me. Let me make him strawberry haired babies the minute he gets off that plane! We will worry about the logistics later, you know the wedding and everything. My fiancé is killing the PR game! Keep it up my love.

    Honk and honk and some honking love for the beleaguered Poor Jas. He probably wept at the thought of returning to Workshy and Kate the Impossible so Poor Jas’ tears made The Sexy Ginger take pity and extended his tour.

  78. swede says:

    OMG! omg omg!!!
    LOVE him please marry me your highness lol!

  79. Luka says:

    Definitely honking for Harry!!! He melts me, and I do think he genuinely cares, unlike the do-nothing Cambridges.

  80. TotallyBiased says:

    Belated HONK!
