In footage taken at the scene, a child identified by reporters as four-year-old Eliza Morris was holding up a sign reading “Gingers Unite.” Naturally, it caught the Prince’s eye, and he took a few moments to chat with Morris and the surrounding fans. “I love this!” he reportedly commented about the sign of solidarity. “Do you love your hair? The sign is amazing!” he added. The royal pair [were in Birkenhead](https://www.royal.uk/duke-and-duchess-sussex-visit-birkenhead) to view a public sculpture and visit a number of charitable projects, and they spent about 45 minutes on their walkabout, visiting with fans.
