Prince Harry’s Best Quotes About Fatherhood Prove He’s an Amazing Dad to Archie and Lilibet

Before Archie’s Arrival

“As someone who is about to become a father, I am acutely aware of our shared responsibility to make this world more resilient and its inhabitants more accountable for the next generation,” the royal said during a speech given at Lancaster House in London.

“The only way to see real progress is not by chance, it’s by change,” he added. “Let’s get to work.”

He Always Wanted to Be a Dad

“We … genuinely couldn’t think of a better place to announce the, er, upcoming baby,” Harry said at a reception in Sydney just one day after Kensington Palace confirmed that the duchess was pregnant.

“Whether it’s a boy or a girl …” he added.

Their Baby Boy

Meghan gave birth to Archie, the couple’s first child, on May 6, 2019. It didn’t take long for Harry to address the public and share the wonderful news.

“Meghan and myself had a baby boy early this morning, a very healthy boy,” Harry gushed, clearly thrilled that the moment had arrived. “Mother and baby are doing incredibly well. It’s been the most amazing experience I could possibly imagine.”

“How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we are both absolutely thrilled and so grateful to all the love and support from everyone out there,” he added. “It’s been amazing. So we just wanted to share this with everybody.”

So Happy

Archie quickly became the couple’s pride and joy once he was born.

“Thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and I over the last few days. I have been so proud to be able to introduce my wife to you and we have been so happy to be able to celebrate the personal joy of our newest addition with you all,” Harry told the crowd while at the Invictus Games Opening Ceremony.

Bliss

“As every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing,” Harry told the press after Archie’s birth. “But this little thing is absolutely to die for. So I’m just over the moon.”

Little Lili

Lilibet was born to Harry and Meghan on June 4, 2021.

“The kids are growing up like all kids do, very, very fast,” he told Good Morning America in February 2024. “They’ve both got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day, like most kids do. I’m just grateful to be a dad.”
