Prince Harry Opens Up About Home Life with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet: ‘They Make Us Laugh’

When asked what Harry, 39, the dad is like, the prince replied, “I can’t tell you. That’s classified. It’s top secret!”

“No, the kids are doing great,” he continued. “The kids are growing up like all kids do, very, very fast. They’ve both got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day, like most kids do. I’m just grateful to be a dad.”“Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane, go and see him, and spend any time with him — I’m grateful for that,” Harry said in the interview, which aired Friday morning.

As for whether King Charles’ diagnosis could have a “reunifying effect” on the royal family, Harry, who is connecting with Invictus Games competitors and their families this week, said: “Yeah, I’m sure. Throughout all these families, I see it on a day-to-day basis, the strength of the family unit coming together. I think any illness, any sickness brings families together.”

He also shared that he has “other trips planned that would take me to the U.K. or back to the U.K., so I’ll stop in and see my family again.”

Prince Harry’s personal life has changed greatly since launching the Invictus Games in 2014, most notably becoming a husband and father.

“Being a dad certainly adds another emotional layer to it,” Harry told PEOPLE in 2022. “When I was in the Army, I promised myself I would be out before having a wife and kids, because I couldn’t imagine the heartache of being apart for so long during deployment, the risk of possibly getting injured, and the reality that my family’s lives could be changed forever if that happened.”
