Prince Harry talks about Prince Archie, Princess Lilibet ‘morning blues’ in UK

Prince Harry is touching upon a typical morning at his new home in Cotswolds.

The Duke of Sussex shared his morning routine with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet during his annual appearance at the WellChild Awards in London on Monday.

“At breakfast this morning, they had a bit of Monday morning blues,” he told HELLO! Magazine. “There’s always something like Sunday night blues or boarding school... when you’ve been away, or before you go to school.”

“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,’ ” he said. “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.”

“Once you become a parent, it does change everything,” Harry said. “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.”

“And again, day in, day out, coming off the back of kids being out [of school] for 11 weeks... but you find yourself going, ‘Wow, in that room with those parents, you really can’t complain about anything,’” he continued. “Of course, it’s all relative, but the inspiration that I get from these guys - not just the kids, but the parents themselves - it fills me up for a whole year.”
