Prince Harry gives rare insight into parenting style with touching pregnancy detail

Prince Harry has given fans a unique glimpse into his parenting style during his four-day visit to the UK this week.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, who stepped away from his official royal duties in 2020 to move to LA with his wife Meghan Markle, made a rare appearance in his home country at the WellChild awards last night.

Speaking to Dylan Bleach, a WellChild Award winner and aspiring television presenter, he gave a rare insight into his parenting of his two young children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Dylan told hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls: "It just felt so natural, he's very much just a human being like me and you are.

"Once I'd asked my three questions about WellChild, he was talking about the unpredictability of the WellChild children and how he he'd had a sword fight that evening and all these fantastic and funny stories. And it just felt natural to mention that I'm expecting a son in a few weeks' time, and if he had any advice on that for me.

"WellChild brings the child out in him and it reminds him of his children in a sense so I think he enjoys the night to forget the problems that are going on.

"He mentioned in his speech that the darkness can really swallow you up but the brightness in the room last night is what keeps some people going. So it is a real shining light for him and it keeps him going."

Susanna congratulated him on the interview on GMB this morning, saying: "What you managed to get was a real insight into Prince Harry as a dad because he said parenting starts before the baby is born, talk to your child, and that's part of nurturing them and encouraging them. That will be picked up everywhere."

The charity celebrates the inspirational qualities of the UK's seriously ill children, and Harry gave a speech at the event before sitting down for an interview.

Dylan also admitted that the chance to interview Harry came out of the blue, but insisted that he was never going to turn the chance down. He said: "It started off with a text message from the media guy.

"He said 'I've got something weird to ask you'. Who on earth would say no to that? It was a no-brainer and it was a childhood dream come true."

The Duke said in the chat: "I always used to laugh with my grandparents, funnily enough, about working with children.

"For me, that unpredictability brings so much fun and enjoyment. I have been slapped across the face, I've had my beard pulled. I have had my tie wrapped around my head."

Speaking of his charity work with children, he added: "I have always said for many years that I still have a child inside of me. I think all of us do.

"I think being amongst these kids brings that out of me. I think that out of all the qualities that these kids have, without question, their resilience tops it all."

Harry has returned to the UK for a four-day trip, having flown over from California solo, without his wife and children. He attended the event on Monday evening, which celebrates the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families.

Over the course of his visit, the Duke will also partake in various charity-focused duties, including an informal meet with Children in Need.

It is understood the Prince has given a huge donation to the charity, which supports disadvantaged children across the UK.
