Prince Harry just spent his day hanging out with kids and animals

Few royals have Harry’s innate ability to steal our hearts, whether that’s as he races his brother the Duke of Cambridge for charity or the particular efforts he goes to to impress his girlfriend Meghan Markle.

And now, just to crank things up a notch even further, he spent all of yesterday hanging out with children and animals.

Armed with a fleece and some walking boots, Harry headed to Epping Forest to meet local children working on ecology projects, and had a chance to say hello to some rare cows too.

It was all to promote one of England’s ancient woodlands and the various conservation and community projects taking place in the area.

One cow he met, Lucky, is an English longhorn – a rare breed of beef cattle which grazes there to keep pastures clear.

He met a calf called Ragamuffin, too, just in case an adult cow wasn’t cute enough for us.

He also went to the Field Studies Centre at High Beach, meeting local kids and taking a look at their projects on pond life and woodland creatures.

And finally, he contributed to the forest by planting his very own tree to mark the Epping Forest Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy – one of many forestry projects taking place in Commonwealth counties.

Which is great stuff – but to be honest, we’re still totally distracted by that tiny calf.
