He then wore the cover of memoir Spare around his neck so no one missed his resemblance to the carrot-topped Royal.

Mum Melissa Wright, 36, inspired him to dress as the author of the fastest selling non-fiction book as Ellis didn’t want a traditional costume.

She said: “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.

“He is a bit obsessed with being a prince as well so I thought it would be perfect.”

Melissa, a make-up artist from Surrey, now hopes her son gets the Duke of Sussex’s royal seal of approval.

She added: “I hope he would find it funny.

“I guess in a way it is promoting his book.

“I hope he would really like it.”
