People with hearts: Today, Prince Harry, your O.G. dream future husband, brought it in a big way. By big, we mean the following photos of his royal emotionally vulnerable hotness welcoming home wounded Afghanistan veterans will melt your face. Proceed with caution.

Note that the next-level heartwarming hug would make Notebook author Nicholas Sparks want to break out his feathered quill. Honestly, Harry, we'd walk a really long way to get a hug like this from you. The fact that it went to a woman who actually deserves a royal hug (and then some) makes it all the better.
