Prince Harry recently shared how he keeps the memory of his late mother, Princess Diana, alive for his children.

The 40-year-old Duke of Sussex spoke about the subject during an interview at the Invictus Games in Canada, revealing a heartfelt moment with his five-year-old son, Archie. However, his comments have sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Currently in Canada for the 2025 Invictus Games, Harry spoke with Canadian TV channel CTV about the challenges of discussing his mother’s legacy with his kids.

He admitted that explaining such topics to young children can be difficult. “Kids don’t always ask the right questions, so you either shut it down straight away, which I will never do, or you engage in the conversation and try to explain things,” he said.

He then recalled a recent moment with Archie. The young boy had asked about landmines, which led to an unexpected conversation. Harry found himself explaining how some of the veterans they support were injured by explosions. While he avoided discussing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) due to Archie’s age, he still spoke about mines in a way his son could understand.

Surprisingly, the conversation gave him a chance to talk about Diana. He hadn’t planned to bring up his mother, but as the discussion unfolded, it naturally led to her work with landmine awareness. Archie became curious and wanted to see photos and videos of his grandmother in action. Harry noted that the conversation turned out differently than he expected but was a meaningful moment between father and son.
