An emotional Prince Harry left a singer star-struck at a gala in Canada over the weekend, it has been reported. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in Canada on Friday to attend David Foster’s charity gala, raising money for The David Foster Foundation, which provides financial support for non-medical expenses to Canadian families with ill children.
At the gala, Harry and Meghan appeared to have a great evening, and even enjoyed a moving performance by Sydnie Christmas, who was once on Britain’s Got Talent. After her performance, which saw her sing Tomorrow, from the film Annie, and Frank Sinatra’s My Way, Harry spoke to the performer. It was at this moment when Harry made the revelation that he felt emotionally moved by her singing. Ms Christmas responded on social media with a powerful six-word summary of the prince: “You are the most loveliest soul.”

Her post came after the Duke of Sussex told the 31-year-old singer that he “felt it in the back of my throat”.
Speaking after the event, Christmas told The Sun: “He (Harry) went, ‘Sydnie, I felt every word. I really felt that in the back of my throat’.
“He just went in for the hug, and I was like, ‘Why not?’.”
The singer then took to her social media, describing her interaction with the prince at the gala.
Sharing a photograph of her and the duke, she wrote: “An absolute pinch me moment. Harry you are the most loveliest soul.”
It is believed Harry, 41, and his wife Meghan, 45, were at the gala on Friday as they are close friends with David Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee.
McPhee once even said that Harry and David were like a father and son. She told Access Hollywood in 2020: “My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry.
“They’re so cute. They’re like father and son.”
Harry and Meghan looked delighted to be at the event on Friday as they posed on the red carpet and watched the performances. The couple even got to meet bagpipers, with Meghan saying: “My husband loves bagpipes.”
This led Harry to joke to the bagpipers: “Where’s mine?” He then said he could play the “pipes and drums”.
