Duke of Sussex Opens Up About Sharing His Mother’s Legacy with His Children
Prince Harry has spoken candidly about a meaningful conversation he had with his five-year-old son, Prince Archie, regarding the late Princess Diana.
Currently attending the Invictus Games in Canada alongside Meghan Markle, Harry shared in an interview how his son’s curiosity led to an important discussion about his grandmother’s humanitarian work.
“Children always ask the right questions,” Harry remarked, explaining how Archie’s inquiries about amputees and landmines led him to speak about Diana’s efforts.
“Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about these guys... but then I found myself explaining mines to a five-year-old. Interestingly, it gave me a chance to talk about my mum,” he shared.
The Duke of Sussex added that Archie was eager to learn more about his grandmother and wanted to see photos and videos of Diana working with landmine victims. “It produced a very interesting conversation—different than I expected,” he admitted.
Princess Diana was deeply involved with The HALO Trust, an organisation dedicated to clearing landmines and explosive devices left by conflicts. Before her passing in 1997, she famously walked through an active minefield in Angola to highlight the dangers posed by these weapons.
Harry has continued her legacy, working closely with The HALO Trust and advocating for humanitarian causes.
While Harry and Meghan are committed to sharing Diana’s values with Archie and their three-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, their relationship with the royal family remains strained.
Reports suggest that King Charles is keen to spend time with his US-based grandchildren, but Harry remains firm on securing police protection before bringing his family back to the UK.
