Prince Harry mimics Meghan's bump during his visit to school weeks before the scheduled date

Prince Harry jokingly imitated the growing baby bump of his wife Meghan as he mingled with schoolchildren and helped plant trees to emphasize the importance of the environment.

Theodora Ivanovo, 50, who helps maintain the outdoor spaces of the forestry school, an idea born from Scandinavian outdoor education, said: "We want to make this area a mini-urban forest for the benefit of children, because we can not make a big one in central London.
