Prince Harry has been likened to his late mother, Princess Diana, after he visited injured soldiers in hospital in Nigeria.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, recently travelled to the country with his wife Meghan Markle and was pictured comforting patients in hospital.

Speaking to injured soldiers, Harry asked one: "Are they looking after you? Are you feeling better?"

"Get well soon, stay strong," he told another serviceman who had suffered eye injuries in a bomb blast, reports People.

The moment was reminiscent of his mother's own bedside manner when visiting sick people in hospital.

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON! Prince Harry is Princess Diana’s baby. The Duke of Sussex with a wounded Nigerian soldier reminds us of the many times Princess Di showed her humanity even when it wasn't “cool” for Royals to do so. #HarryAndMeghanInNigeria (PH’s @misanharriman pic.twitter.com/Gt0n1dUhks
