But when Ollie saw Prince Harry, his eyes lit up. He mustered all his strength and stood up to give Prince Harry a hug.
The beautiful moment took place at the WellChild event, where the organization recognizes courageous young children living with serious illnesses.
“He (Harry) is very privileged because Ollie cannot stand up by himself and he used his strength to stand up and hug him,” said Ollie’s mom Lucy.
