The Duke of Sussex is opening up about his most significant role: fatherhood.
During the One Year to Go celebrations for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, Prince Harry, 39, candidly discussed life in California with his wife 42, shedding light on their experiences raising their children 4, and 2.
Describing his role as a father, Harry humorously responded to inquiries about his parenting style by joking, “I can’t tell you. That’s classified. It’s top secret!” He went on to express his gratitude for being a dad, emphasizing how his children bring laughter and grounding to their lives on a daily basis.
In a heartfelt moment, Harry also shared about his father’s recent cancer diagnosis, recounting how he promptly flew to see him upon learning the news, underscoring the importance of family bonds during challenging times.
Reflecting on the potential impact of King Charles’ illness on the royal family’s unity, Harry acknowledged the strength that emerges when families come together in times of sickness, hinting at a possible reunifying effect within the family.
Despite his busy schedule, which includes connecting with Invictus Games participants and families, Harry expressed his intention to visit the U.K. and reunite with his family, underscoring the significance of familial connections amidst life’s changes.
Since founding the Invictus Games in 2014, Prince Harry’s personal life has undergone significant transformations, particularly with his roles as a husband and father adding profound emotional dimensions to his experiences.
In a touching revelation, it was disclosed that the children of Meghan and Harry, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, bear the surname aligning with the tradition followed by royal family members.
While Meghan and Harry participated in the Invictus Games event in Canada, their thoughts remained with Archie and Lili back home in Montecito, with Meghan even sharing moments of the event with her husband to show the children.
Looking ahead, Prince Harry eagerly anticipates involving Archie and Lili in the Invictus Games, an adaptive sports competition, having already introduced his son to the inspiring event and witnessing his enthusiastic response to the wheelchair basketball and rugby competitions from the previous games in Sydney.
