Prince Harry’s emotional Diana-inspired ‘extra tight’ parenting habit | Royal | News

Prince Harry has shared a personal insight into his approach to fatherhood, revealing that he follows the example set by his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, when comforting her own children.

The Duke of Sussex said Diana would hold on to him and his brother Prince William “as tightly as possible”; He repeats this gesture now with his son and daughter whenever they have a difficult day.

Harry shared this sentiment on the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast, which was recorded last Thursday and aired on Monday.

The interview was broadcast shortly before seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet visited their grandfather King Charles the next day, their first meeting in four years.

Speaking to former England rugby forward and Celebrity Traitors contestant Joe Marler, Duke said: “The resilience of the kids is incredible and their outlook on life is incredibly refreshing.”

She added: “And if one day it’s hard, all I’m going to do is always push my kids harder, harder.”

In the lighthearted episode, Harry answered a series of questions in the style of a mock therapy session hosted by “Dr Marler”.

The Duke was asked to give his full name and replied: “Henry Charles Albert David, Duke of Sussex.”

She also joked that her hair color was “brown” rather than “red”, according to the Independent.

When asked about his favorite “trashy TV show”, Harry replied: “Love Island” and clarified: “I don’t watch Love Island, I watched Love Island.”

When asked which celebrity Harry from Harry Styles, Harry Kane or Harry Potter he would choose for the day, he chose Kane on a “winner’s day.”

The duke also gave his prediction for England’s World Cup chances, saying: “I think it’s not going to be easy coming home, it’s never going to be easy.”

Asked about his grooming routine, Harry replied: “S***, shave, shower” and added: “I trim my beard every five or six days just to keep it a bit tidy.”

The Duke, who said he was clearly losing his hair, joked: “Nothing goes on top, I get a haircut, otherwise I try not to look at what’s going on.”

Then the questions turned to more serious topics and Harry asked how he was coping with the trauma.

He replied: “Exercise, play sports and being able to find time to take yourself somewhere, do something; repetition is great, have a routine.”

He added: “Boxing is another thing that I really enjoy, getting the aggression out, getting a sweat on is always about getting a sweat on for me.”
