The Duke of Sussex has praised young volunteers working with a charity who are delivering food packages to vulnerable people in London.
Prince Harry, 35, who is currently living in Tyler Perry’s $18 million mansion in LA, spoke with three youngsters working with StreetGames, who are volunteering for the Sport at the Heart (SATH) charity.
In a clip shared on the StreetGates Twitter page today, Prince Harry praised the volunteers, saying: ‘You guys can speak better than I can, but actually helping people, makes you feel better.’
Last month Meghan Markle, 38, announced StreetGames volunteers would help deliver meals cooked by the Hubb kitchen to vulnerable families across London.

Speaking to the volunteers over video call, Prince Harry said: ‘You understand the importance of being outside and using sport and outside activities to stay fit, not just physically fit but mentally fit as well..’
He added: ‘Stay safe. You’re doing such amazing work and thank you so much for being you, and for being so kind and compassionate and caring to others.’
Prince Harry went on to joke with one of the volunteers as he asked him if his brother was playing football with him and ‘making him go in goal.’
Sport at the Heart is a Brent-based charity which has been delivering food and essential supplies to the community during the coronavirus crisis.

Last month, Meghan announced a project with the Hubb Community Kitchen to provide food to vulnerable families in London, with StreetGames to delivering the meals
It is one of seven that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle asked wedding guests to donate to on their wedding day.
It comes after Meghan asked the Grenfell supporting women of the Hubb Community Kitchen to start a new service providing meals to families in the capital struggling during the coronavirus lockdown.
Earlier this month, the duchess held a conference call with members of the Hubb to discuss her idea about helping to feed residents in London.
The project was launched with the women batch cooking in their own homes and then delivering 250-300 meals to families three days a week.
The charity was also one of seven organisations chosen by the couple to recieve donations from well-wishers in lieu of gifts
Deliveries are handled by StreetGames, one of the charitable organisations the Sussexes nominated ahead of their wedding to receive donations from well-wishers, in lieu of gifts.
StreetGames uses sport to change lives across the UK, helping people and communities to become healthier, safer and more successful.
