Prince Harry recently discussed the challenges of talking to his young children, Archie and Lilibet, about the Invictus Games.
During an interview at the Vancouver Games, he shared how his son, Archie, is particularly curious and asks questions about the veterans he meets, like why someone might be missing a leg or an arm.
While these conversations can be difficult, Harry believes they’re important for helping his children understand the event.
Harry noted that young children, especially Archie, have a natural curiosity and no filter when asking questions. This leads to more inquiries, such as asking about the injuries, what a mine is, and the overall purpose of the Games.
These discussions, though challenging, are essential to their growth.
The Duke of Sussex stressed the importance of explaining things in a way that’s suitable for their age. He hopes that, as they grow, his children will find joy in sports and be inspired by the athletes competing at Invictus.
Harry is eager to share the stories from this year’s Games with Archie and Lilibet once they return home, showing them the power of sport and resilience.
He also expressed his commitment to the future of Invictus, continuing the Games as long as there’s a need.
