Melissa said: “I was a bit worried because I guess it is a controversial topic because everybody does have quite a big opinion. Essentially, it is just fun.
Melissa added: “As he’s only three, I was giving him some suggestions; the typical sort of Julia Donaldson characters or things three-year-olds would like to be read. Then, he was like, ‘no, no I don’t want that one.’
“He is quite feisty, he’s definitely got an opinion, which then kind of led me to Harry.
She added: “As a family, we do quite love the royal family. He loved the Jubilee. My mum threw a huge party and he still talks about that now. He is a bit obsessed with being a prince as well so I thought it would be perfect.”

Melissa said: “There are some boys in his class that are refusing to dress up but Ellis is not that boy. He really loves it. If he didn’t love it, I would never have done it. He just wouldn’t have done it – he’s three. Don’t mess with three-year-olds.”
Melissa, the director of an office refurbishment company, works as a make-up artist at weekends.
