EXCLUSIVE: As the Duke of Sussex celebrates his 40th birthday on 15 September, there is one role that a leading royal expert explains has been the making of him
He was once the cheeky chap who could do no wrong. Beloved for his sense of humour and the mischievous twinkle in his eye, Prince Harry was 'The People’s Prince' who held a firm place in the nation’s hearts.
He found that person in 2016 when he fell head over heels in love with Meghan Markle, and married her just two years later. Harry’s dream to become a father was realised when the couple’s son, Archie Harrison, arrived in 2019, and was later joined by a daughter, Lilibet Diana, in 2021. Just like any dad, there will be many important life lessons Harry can hope to teach his children as they immerse themselves in the idyllic Californian lifestyle.
It is true that his and Prince William’s upbringing was not always a happy one and was punctuated by a steady stream of emotional turmoil brought about by his parents’ messy separation and their very public take-downs of one another. Despite his ongoing legal battle over security, Harry has said he wants to raise his children with a clear understanding of both sides of his heritage. Jennie adds, “Imagine Archie, aged 15, telling his friends, ‘My grandpa is/was King! And my uncle is/will be King too.’ But he hardly knew or met them. How sad... and Meghan would have to bear the brunt of the responsibility for that.
This distance has seen Harry never shy away from placing blame on his father for his distance and priorities when he and his brother were young. While relations between Harry and his family are more of a chasm than a simple rift nowadays, it is clear there are still warm feelings between the father and son.
“She organised play days and work days for her sons… but Harry doesn’t have to worry about instilling that kind of discipline into his little ones and I think he will be delighted that they are free to choose their own way in life.”
