WATCH: Prince Harry tries ballet

Prince Harry is giving a glimpse into what a good sport he'll be as a dad after he joined in a ballet class with young kids in London.

Harry, whose wife, Duchess Meghan, is expected to give birth this month to their first child, made a solo visit Wednesday to the YMCA South Ealing.

While watching students in a ballet class for kids ages four to six, Harry, 34, learned about the class's "ballet challenge," where students balance on one leg, according to reports.
