Prince Harry has revealed how he has begun to have “challenging but important” conversations with his two children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, is the founder of The Invictus Games and has spent the last few days in Canada with his wife Meghan Markle for the 2025 tournament, which sees ex veterans compete in adaptive sports.
While the couple’s two children stayed home in California, Harry told People that they are already showing an interest in the tournament, which supports wounded and injured service members and veterans.
The duke, who served in the armed forces himself, told People: “They are fascinated. 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.
“Our kids are still so young, but Archie, especially, is asking those questions. As any parent knows, once you open that door and those questions are asked, or that conversation starts, more and more doors start opening. And then 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!”
