Prince Harry felt 'uncomfortable' during gift exchange with Presidential hopeful
Prince Harry felt "very uncomfortable" after he was forced to give a rather strange gift to US Presidential hopeful Chris Christie.
The former Governor of New Jersey described Harry as a "really kind-hearted man" as he recalled meeting the Duke of Sussex during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
"I found him to be a really kind-hearted young man, but also a pretty sad and confused one," Chris said during an appearance on Piers Morgan's TalkTV show.
He explained how he had given Harry a fleece which said "Prince Harry" on it and was surprised when he wasn't given a gift in return.

Chris admitted he was confused by Harry's request, as he said the Prince then explained: "They make me give this and it makes me very uncomfortable."
Chris added: "So I said, 'Fine, Harry.' He goes into his bag and it's this wrapped gift, and he puts it on the table and I honoured his request not to open it."

Chris' comments come after Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were recently nominated for a top Hollywood award thanks to their bombshell Netflix documentary.
Their explosive series, titled Harry & Meghan, has been nominated by Hollywood Critics Awards in the Best Streaming Nonfiction category.
Announcing the news on Twitter, the organisation revealed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are up against Prehistoric Planet 2, Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss, Rennervations, The 1619 Project and The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy.
Despite mixed reviews, Harry and Meghan's documentary broke streaming records as it became the biggest Netflix documentary debut, with a total 81.6 million hours watched on its first four days of release.
