In a playful recent conversation with Good Morning America, Prince Harry shared insights into his family life, albeit with a touch of secrecy. When probed about his parenting style, particularly as a father, he humorously deflected the question by declaring it as “classified” and “top secret.”
The Duke of Sussex affectionately mentioned that his children, Prince Archie, aged 4, and Princess Lilibet, aged 2, whom he co-parents with his wife Meghan Markle, are thriving. He expressed how quickly kids grow up and highlighted their remarkable sense of humor, which never fails to bring joy and grounding to their lives, much like any other children.

This interview, conducted during the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025’s One Year to Go festivities, coincided with the announcement that the royal couple decided to change their children’s surname. Instead of the conventional Mountbatten-Windsor, the siblings will be identified by the surname Sussex, aligning with their parents’ title. Thus, they are now known as Archibald “Archie” Harrison Sussex and Lilibet Diana Sussex.
This naming decision symbolizes unity within the family and marks a significant moment for them. It draws parallels to how Prince Harry was referred to as “Captain Wales” during his military service, reflecting his position as the Prince of Wales, rather than Captain Mountbatten-Windsor.
Recent events have stirred controversy, particularly concerning Princess Lilibet’s name. Claims surfaced in Robert Hardman’s book The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy alleging that the late Queen Elizabeth II was displeased with the name choice. However, insiders close to the Sussexes refute these allegations, asserting that they indeed received the Queen’s approval for the name, emphasizing that such controversies seem part of a larger smear campaign.
Despite the ongoing speculations surrounding his family, Prince Harry remains grateful for the role of fatherhood. His genuine demeanor during the interview reflects his joy in being a dad, a sentiment that shines through his words and demeanor on Good Morning America.
