Even during an emotional visit with sick children, Prince Harry couldn't stop thinking — and talking — about his own kids back home.
Prince Harry gave fans a sweet and surprisingly personal glimpse into daughter Princess Lilibet's world while meeting young honorees ahead of the WellChild Awards in London on Monday.
The Duke of Sussex spent time chatting with the children being celebrated at the event, including six-year-old Margot Jones-Billington, who survived a brain injury as a baby. Harry couldn't help but compliment her sparkly shoes and pink outfit — and that's when he opened up about his own little girl.
He told the young honoree that his son and daughter, now seven and five, share a similar love for sparkle and colour, revealing that pink is officially Lilibet's favourite colour too.
Harry didn't stop there. In a separate chat with a magazine, he shared a rare peek into a typical morning at his Cotswolds home with Archie and Lilibet — including how he handles their "Monday blues" by talking things through with them honestly instead of brushing off their feelings.
The Duke also reflected on how fatherhood has reshaped his perspective, admitting that spending time with seriously ill children and their families puts everything into sharper focus. He described the experience as deeply humbling, saying it reminds him just how much there is to be grateful for when it comes to his own healthy kids.
Harry has attended the WellChild Awards for years, and this appearance once again showed a softer, more personal side of the Duke — one where his role as a father clearly shapes how he connects with the families he meets.
