While visiting Colorado on Saturday, Prince Harry fit in a little practice at being an uncle into his busy schedule.

In town to kick off the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, where more than 200 wounded servicemen and women from the U.S. and Britain will participate in sporting events, the young royal, 28, cooed and played with 10-month-old Sebastian Wilkowski, who was cradled by his mom, Julia, at a pre-Games brunch.

Dressed in army fatigues, Harry was meeting old friends, donors and supporters of the Games when the little fan caught his eye.

Continuing his active Friday in Washington, D.C., that first took him to Arlington National Cemetery, where he paid respects to the fallen, Prince Harry switched into his khakis to visit wounded soldiers and recovering servicemen at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Impressed by the technology at the facility – "We've got nothing like this back in the U.K.," he said – the prince watched as a 24-year-old army specialist, Alabama-born Corey Garmon, who lost both legs in Afghanistan, walk on a virtual simulator.

"You must have been on this thing for hours," Harry, 28, told Corey, who responded, "It's a good workout."

"How many times have you been on this?" Harry then asked, only to be surprised when the soldier revealed it was his very first day.

Kate Gets Baby-Prep Help from Her Royal Family

As any parents-to-be can attest, prepping for baby is work that's never done. And, in the latest royal look-a-like installment, faux Kate is no exception!

Photographer Alison Jackson – who previously shot the "royal baby shower" and the newlyweds' "first Christmas" – has thought of everything this time, from the Duchess getting her bump measured by Camilla to helping The Queen paint the nursery. HRH really can rock some coveralls!

The latest spoof series, released by Ladbrokes to launch its royal baby odds in the U.K., also includes Kate's sister Pippa helping choose baby names while Kate noshes on pickles and ice cream.

While it's not the real thing, since Kate (due in July) and Prince William are laying low while Prince Harry's U.S. visit is underway, the pics at least satisfy royal watchers' cravings as well!

His message read: "To my comrades-in-arms of the United States of America, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom." He signed it captain Harry Wales.

After stopping by a memorial to President John F. Kennedy, Harry was escorted to the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.

Composer Paul Mealor Writes Special Lullaby for William & Kate's Baby

The gifts will come pouring in soon enough. But the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's unborn child has already received one very special present indeed – a lullaby specially written for the baby by a respected British composer and recorded by a New Zealand soprano.

Paul Mealor, who wrote music for Prince William and Kate's royal wedding, has penned a tune called "Sleep On" as a gift to the baby, due in July. It will appear on Hayley Westenra's upcoming lullaby album Hushabye, set for release in the U.K. on June 17.



"After writing music for the royal wedding, it seemed natural to provide the musical accompaniment for the next stage of the royal couple's journey together," Mealor, 37, told the British press.

Did Beyoncé Embarrass Princess Eugenie at Her London Concert? | Beyonce Knowles, Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie Declines Concert Duet with Beyoncé

Was it a case of royal stage fright?

Princess Eugenie, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, may have had a choice seat near the stage for Beyoncé's concert at London's O2 Arena Tuesday. But when the singing star pointed the microphone in the young royal's face and asked her to belt out a line from "Irreplaceable" as she does to audience members each night, Eugenie blanched, according to a report from the U.K.'s Mirror.

According to the report, which cites an eyewitness, Beyoncé didn't apparently recognize Eugenie when she asked her to sing the line "to the left/to the left" in her hit song.

Instead, when she held the microphone out, Eugenie dodged the opportunity, ducking away in embarrassment and dropping to the ground, according to the Mirror report. "All Eugenie's friends were teasing her about her stage fright for hours afterwards," the paper reports, quoting a concertgoer.
