Prince Harry Nervous About Fatherhood? See Awkward Reaction To Crying Baby [PHOTOS]
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will welcome their first child soon, so the soon-to-be parents are already getting some practice in. However, the royal prince might still be a little nervous about the idea of taking care of a baby.
On Monday, Prince Harry, 34, paid a visit to the Institute of Translational Medicine and the Scar Free Foundation Centre for Conflict Wound Research based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, according to Hello! magazine. Being the first of its kind, the scar center will help veterans and civilians caught in terror incidents tackle the psychological and physical impact left by scars.
During his visit, Prince Harry spoke with JJ Chalmers, who is an old friend of his, and his wife, Kornelia. The couple brought along their 5-week-old baby, James, and introduced him to the royal dad-to-be.
“It’s your turn next!” Chalmers told him.

However, it seems James was not in the mood as the baby wriggled and cried while being held by his mom. In photos from the event, Prince Harry smiled a bit nervously as he tried to comfort the unhappy child.
Unlike James, however, a senior auxiliary nurse in the diabetes center, who considered herself Prince Harry's "no. 1 fan," was very happy to meet Meghan Markle's husband. Maxine French, 50, told People that she "grabbed" Prince Harry and "gave him a kiss." She added that she wished him "all the luck in the world" with his and Markle's baby.
Prince William's younger brother has always been an advocate of veterans, and he visited the center as part of his ongoing work to highlight the challenges they face and provide more opportunities for them. The center is working on new treatments, including the use of laser therapy to treat scars and a pro-healing protein being developed within a new biomaterial gel.

According to Kensington Palace, there are over 6,000 members of the British Armed Forces who have been "seriously injured or scarred in recent conflicts." Veterans who survived physical injury are more likely to experience mental health problems.
On the same day, Prince Harry also paid tribute to victims of two 2015 terror attacks in Tunisia and visited the Sousse and Bardo memorial.
