'It Will Get Better': Prince Harry Comforts Children At Army/Navy

Prince Harry has comforted two children whose mother died, telling them "it will get better".

He offered his support to 11-year-old Emily and 13-year-old Isaac Briggs during half-time of this year's Army/Navy clash at Twickenham.

Their mother, 44-year-old Kim, died last year after being hit by a cyclist in East London.

According to the Telegraph, Issac said they "talked about the cadets... talked about rugby, about losing parents", while Emily said: "He just told us everything will be OK, even though everything seems really bad at the moment, it will get better."

The children's father, Matt Briggs, said Prince Harry invited them to watch the match after hearing of what had happened.

He told the Telegraph:

"I was touched because he put thought into this invitation because my son plays rugby and is in the cadets, so it's a combination of the two things."

The family watched the match with athletes who will be hoping to compete at this September's Invictus Games, in Toronto, Canada, and competitors from previous years.

Next month Prince Harry will visit Sydney, host city of the 2018 competition, to attend a series of events and celebrations.
