He noted that Archie, in particular, has been full of questions, eager to understand more about the experiences of wounded veterans.
“Our kids are still so young, but Archie, especially, is asking those questions,” Harry explained. “As any parent knows, once you open that door and those questions are asked, or that conversation starts, more and more doors start opening.”
Curiosity quickly led to even bigger topics, with Archie asking, “How did they get injured? What’s a mine?” and wanting deeper explanations.
“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! They want to know more, more, more,” Harry shared.
As he navigates these discussions, the Duke of Sussex is focused on explaining things in a way that is honest yet age-appropriate.
“I’m constantly trying to make sure that I get it right, in explaining what’s happened to (the competitors), and what we do at Invictus to try to make their lives better and give them a chance to redefine themselves. And the power of sport.”
Prince Harry is eager to share his experiences with his children, encouraging them to follow their passions and develop empathy for others. Through these conversations, he hopes to instill the same sense of purpose and resilience that he has carried throughout his own journey.
