Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated back to the United Kingdom in August 2026, just in time for school. His children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, both attend an undisclosed private school. Like many other children, they don’t always want to get out of bed and get moving. Prince Harry opened up about parenting his young kids and how he handles these types of situations.
”At breakfast this morning, they had a bit of Monday morning blues,” he told Hello! “There’s always something like Sunday night blues or boarding school… when you’ve been away, or before you go to school.”
Prince Harry Used the Morning As a Teaching Moment with His Kids
Prince Harry told Hello! He leaned into the moment with his kids to explain what he had coming up for the day.
“But at breakfast this morning, I decided, ‘You know what? You’re being a little bit tricky, so I’m going to tell you exactly what I’m doing tonight.’ And they were genuinely fascinated and asking all sorts of questions. So, like with all of my work and their mum’s work as well, whatever we can do to try to instil some of that awareness, I think is absolutely crucial,” he said.
Prince Harry attended the Well Child Awards later that day to honor kids in Great Britain “from across the UK who have shown exceptional courage in the face of serious illness.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want their kids to understand the importance of being good stewards and helping others in need.
“Once you become a parent, it does change everything. It’s not the fact that for all the years that I wasn’t a parent that meeting the kids didn’t matter as much, but you suddenly realise how grateful you are to have kids that aren’t sick,” he told Hello!
