Royal fans have had their hearts melted by a young boy who has been transformed into Prince Harry for World Book Day.Three-year-old Ellis Wright is known for his bold personality, so when he was invited to dress up for the annual occasion, his mum Melissa Wright, 36 quickly decided on the perfect costume.

Ellis didn't want a traditional costume for his first World Book Day, and sticking to his wishes his mum suggested the Duke of Sussex and author of Spare which delighted the youngster.Melissa got to work creating the costume that has been hailed as nothing short of a "masterpiece".

The mum, who is the director of an office refurbishment company, leaned on her skills she picked up working as a make-up artist at weekends.Using children's hair spray and face paint, the mum from Surrey transformed Ellis into Prince Harry, complete with ginger hair and a beard, which her son picked as his favourite part of the outfit, reports The Mirror.Impressed parents have flooded to shower them with compliments over the adorable snaps."I was a bit worried because I guess it is a controversial topic because everybody does have quite a big opinion," Melissa told the publication.

Thankfully, people have agreed the idea is "quite harmless and funny" so far and she's not had any negative feedback."Essentially, it is just fun," she added.
