Prince Harry says Archie and Lilibet keep him 'grounded' amid Royal Family feud

Prince Harry has opened up about his life in California as he gushed about his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke of Sussex appeared on Good Morning America for a tell-all interview and talked about his life in the US. When host Will Reeve quizzed him about how he's doing as "Harry the dad", Harry joked: "I can't tell you, that's classified," before adding: "The kids are doing great.

"The kids are growing up as all kids do, very fast. They've both got an incredible sense of humour." He added: "They make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day. I'm just very grateful to be a dad."

In the interview, Harry also suggested his father's cancer could lead to a reconciliation with his family back in the UK. He said he was "grateful" to be able to spend time with his father, King Charles, last week as he declared: "I love my family."

The duke's whirlwind visit to see Charles for around 45 minutes prompted speculation the two men, estranged since the duke stepped down as a working royal, may be on the point of rebuilding their relationship. In the GMA interview, it was suggested a family illness could have a "re-unifying effect", and when Harry was asked "is that possible in this case?" he replied: "Yeah, I'm sure".

The duke and his wife Meghan travelled to Canada to take part in a number of events with Invictus competitors to mark a year to go until Harry's Invictus Games, for wounded and sick veterans and military, is staged in the country. They are being followed by a film crew led by Will Reeve, the son of the late Superman star Christopher Reeve, who interviewed the royal.

Gesturing towards Invictus competitors, Harry added: "Throughout all these families I see it on a day-to-day basis, the strength of the family unit coming together. I think any illness, any sickness brings families together."

There was no meeting between the duke and his brother the Prince of Wales last Tuesday after Harry spent time with Charles at Clarence House. The breakdown in the bond between the royal brothers can be traced back to the early period of Harry's relationship with his wife Meghan when his then-fiancee had a falling out with the Princess of Wales in the run-up to their wedding.

Since stepping down as working royals in 2020 and moving to California the Sussexes have aired allegations and grievances against the monarchy and members of the royal family which have also soured relations. Speaking with Reeve, Harry said: "Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I'm grateful for that."
