Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, recently shared a heartwarming detail about his children's physical appearance. At the WellChild Awards in London, he revealed that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have inherited their mother's thick hair. This trait has become a source of pride for the royal family, highlighting the strong physical resemblance between the children and their mother, Meghan Markle.
Speaking at the event, Prince Harry expressed his admiration for the caregivers honored at the WellChild Awards. He reflected on the challenges of parenting, acknowledging the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. However, he was in awe of the dedication and care provided by the families and caregivers present at the event.
This is not the first time Prince Harry has discussed his children's hair. In a previous interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he spoke about the strong 'Spencer gene' in reference to his mother Princess Diana's family. Initially, he thought that his red hair would not stand up to Meghan's genes, but he was pleasantly surprised when both Archie and Lilibet inherited red hair from their Spencer side.
The Duke of Sussex has maintained his patronage of WellChild since 2007, one of the few he retained after stepping back from royal duties in 2020. His commitment to the organization has deepened since becoming a father himself, with Prince Archie born in May 2019 and Princess Lilibet in June 2021.
Despite keeping their family life private, Prince Harry and Meghan have occasionally shared glimpses of their children through family holiday cards and their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan . The couple continues to collaborate on joint initiatives, such as The Parents Network, which supports families affected by online harm.
As Prince Harry celebrated his 40th birthday, he reflected on the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood. He expressed his gratitude for the support of his wife, Meghan, who is managing their home life with their two children and three dogs, which he jokingly described as not quite house-trained. The family also includes chickens, adding to the lively household.
The royal couple's relationship remains 'functional and healthy' with 'two working partners,' according to insiders. While they are pursuing individual philanthropic and entrepreneurial endeavors, their shared commitment to their children and charitable causes remains strong.
