Prince Harry was all smiles and adorableness today as he paid a surprise visit to the Duke of York’s Royal Military School in Dover.

Bradley Benhan, 14, told PEOPLE: “People behind me were asking who it was, and when I told them, they wouldn’t believe me”.

The boarding school has been at its 150-acre Guston site since 1909.

Harry received an invitation to visit from friend Simon Daglish, co-founder of the Walking With the Wounded organization-Daglish’s son is a student at the school.

Harry arrived by helicopter and there was no announcement – the only giveaway was the school’s military band playing the national anthem.

The duo were barely able to control themselves as the redheaded royal left students delighted when he turned up in his full military uniform.

He also presented medals to five pupils before attending an informal reception.

He even had a response for a young student who said he was unsure whether he wanted to go in to the military. “Let’s talk about it”.

“He was saying, take your time, review all your options, then wait to decide what you will do”.
