Prince Harry sat down for a new interview with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb . During the sit down, which aired April 20, the Duke of Sussex opened up about working from home with his and Meghan Markle ’s young kids, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana.
When asked by Hoda what a random Wednesday is like for him, the royal dad of two said, “It revolves around the kids as much as humanly possible.”

It’s really hard to separate the work from them because they kind of overlap. I mean, Archie spends more time interrupting our Zoom calls than anybody else,” Harry added. “But he also gets us off them as well, so that’s also a nice thing.”
Harry also revealed that he thinks his son, who turns three next month, is cheeky like him. “I always try and keep that. I think that the cheekiness is something that keeps you alive,” he told Hoda. “There’s so much to be happy about in the outside world, but there’s also so much to worry about.”
The Duke continued, “My sort of mantra now every day, it’s a dangerous one, because I need to make sure that I don’t have burnout, but it’s trying to make the world a better place for my kids. Otherwise, what’s the point in bringing kids into this world, right? It’s a responsibility that I feel as a parent.”
Aside from talking about his kids during the interview, Harry also spoke about recently seeing his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, in the UK. “Being with her, it was great. It was just so nice to see her, you know? She’s on great form. She’s always got a great sense of humor with me and I’m making sure that she’s, you know, protected and got the right people around her,” he shared.
Harry noted that he and his grandmother have a “really special relationship.” He said, “We talk about things that she can’t talk about with anybody else.”
As for whether the Duke will return for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Harry revealed, “I don’t know yet. There’s lots of things, security issues and everything else. So, this is what I’m trying to do, trying to make it possible that, you know, I can get my kids to meet her.”
