Prince Harry is showing support for a charity dedicated to helping bereaved military children before an important event in the U.K.

Scotty’s Little Soldiers released a new video on June 26 of Prince Harry’s sitdown with Nikki Scott, the charity’s founder, ahead of Armed Forces Day in the U.K. The event is commemorated annually in the U.K. on the last Saturday in June as an opportunity to support the military community, from active personnel to veterans, cadets and service families.

Scotty’s Little Soldiers unveiled the emotional conversation between Harry and Scott about the moment she told her son that her husband, Corp. Lee Scott, was killed in Afghanistan to highlight the needs of bereaved military children.

Sitting across from the Duke of Sussex, 39, for “From Grief to Growth,” Scott recalled the harrowing day in July 2009 when she learned of her husband’s death. At the time, their son, Kai, was 5 and their daughter, Brooke, was 7 months old.
