Prince Harry Shares “Challenging” Conversation He’s Started Having With Kids Archie and Lilibet
Prince Harry’s most honorable title is parent.
The Duke of Sussex—who shares kids Archie Harrison, 5, and Lilibet “Lili” Diana, 3, with wife Meghan Markle—recently detailed the difficult and important conversations he began having with his children about the Invictus Games, an international event he created to provide an opportunity for wounded and sick service members to participate in empowering competition.
“They are fascinated,” Harry told People in an interview published Feb. 12. “It’s a very interesting conversation to have with your kids—to explain why that person is missing a leg, why that person is missing an arm, why do they look the way they do. It’s challenging but important.”
The 40-year-old—who served in the British Army for 10 years—noted that Archie is “especially” curious, adding, “He starts asking, ‘How did they get injured? What’s a mine? What’s all this?’ It becomes opening Pandora’s box, to some extent, especially with kids this age, because they have no filter, and they’re just so curious and so inquisitive!”
