Harry reflects on fatherhood and his children

Prince Harry said fatherhood has been an emotional challenge and a source of happiness, reflecting on his children, Archie and Lilibet, during a MasterClass episode about grief and resilience. In the episode, titled “Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss,” Harry discussed a photograph he took of the siblings shortly before Archie’s birthday. He said seeing his son and daughter together in nature, at peace with each other, fills his heart. Harry also described the children as healthy, amusing and funny, and said he would not change fatherhood despite its difficulties. “Becoming a father is an emotional rollercoaster,” he said, adding that he wished he had known how hard it would be. Asked what advice he would give his earlier self, Harry said to hold on tight because it would be a demanding ride. The photograph shows Archie and Lilibet together outdoors. Accounts of the episode describe the children holding hands; one report says they were walking barefoot on a beach, while another describes a mountain setting. The supplied accounts do not establish the image’s precise location. Harry said he took it himself.
