“I was only a year old when you danced at the White House with my mother and look at us now,” he said. John said, “Now I see you in a different circumstance, and on a different stage.” Shortly after the event, videos of the speech were shared on social networks. “The only thing left to do is… not dance together but fly together,” Harry then added, referring to the actor’s pilot skills.
