Prince Harry Reveals His Son, Archie, Asked to See Photos of “Grandma Diana”

This year's Invictus Games are in full swing, complete with heartfelt speeches, intense competitions and even a Suits reference. In addition, I got a glimpse of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's body language, which spoke volumes about their rock-solid marriage. And more recently, I learned the Duke of Sussex opened up about his son, Archie.

Per Hello! magazine, Prince Harry revealed that his 5-year-old son asked to see pics and videos of his late grandmother, Princess Diana. The father-son duo apparently started by talking about landmines, but the discussion eventually shifted to "Grandma Diana."

The royal recalled, "Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about these guys...But then I found myself talking with him about mines at five years old, and interestingly it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn't even really consider."

Prince Harry continued, "So that became the outcome of the story for him. He then saw videos…he wanted to see photos of his grandma Diana doing her thing with landmines all those years ago. So it produced a very interesting conversation between me and him, different from what I thought it was going to be." 

For context, before her death, Princess Diana worked closely with The HALO Trust, a humanitarian organization that works to eliminate landmines from conflict zones. Prince Harry has been quite vocal about continuing his mother's legacy, and in September 2024, he mentioned that fatherhood has inspired his advocacy.
