Prince Harryis encouraging his sonArchie’s cheeky side.
When Kotb asked what a typical Wednesday is like for Harry, he replied that “it revolves around the kids as much as humanly possible.”
“This whole working from home stuff is not all it’s cracked up to be, certainly post-COVID, because it’s really hard,“Prince Harry, 37, said. “But when your kids and you are in the same place, it’s really hard to separate the work from them because they kind of overlap. So, I mean, Archie spends more time interrupting our Zoom calls than anybody else.”
“But he often gets us off them, as well, so that’s also a nice thing,” he continued.
When the host asked if Archie inherited some ofPrince Harry’s famous cheekiness, Harry said he thought so.
“I always try and keep that. I think that the cheekiness is something that keeps you alive,” he said. “There’s so much to be happy about in the outside world, but there’s also so much to worry about.”
Harry added, “My sort of mantra now every day, it’s a dangerous one, because I need to make sure that I don’t have burnout, but it’s trying to make the world a better place for my kids. Otherwise, what’s the point in bringing kids into this world, right? It’s a responsibility that I feel as a parent and that you probably feel as a parent as well.”

Reflecting on what he loved about fatherhood,Prince Harrysaid, “All of it.”
“The chaos, the learning, the reminder of just every element of yourself, your soul, right?” he said.
Harry also said Archie is at an age where he asks a lot of questions — “why this, why that, why that?”
“I give him the most honest answer that I can until he’s satisfied,” Harry said.
“I showed him how some were missing legs and explained that some had invisible injuries, too,” he continued. “Not because he asked, but because I wanted to tell him. Kids understand so much, and to see it through his eyes was amazing because it’s so unfiltered and honest.”
