During the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, Prince Harry shared a heartwarming revelation about his five-year-old son Archie, revealing that the young prince asks to see videos and photographs of his late grandmother, Princess Diana.
In a candid conversation amidst the sporting action, the Duke of Sussex revealed how a recent discussion about landmines sparked an interest in Archie about Princess Diana’s work with the HALO Trust, a charity that clears landmines and other explosive devices. This led Prince Harry to share stories about his mother, creating a meaningful conversation between the two.
“Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about these guys… But then I found myself talking with him about mines at five years old, and interestingly, it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn’t even really consider,” Prince Harry said.
The conversation ultimately led Archie to request videos and photographs of Princess Diana’s work with landmines, which allowed Prince Harry to share stories about his mother’s tireless efforts in the field. This sweet conversation marked a unique moment for Prince Harry, as he reflected on the special bond between Archie and Princess Diana.
As the son and grandson of Princess Diana, Prince Harry has spoken about the impact of her legacy on his life and the lives of his children. In 2022, he shared that Archie affectionately referred to Princess Diana as “Grandma Diana,” and that the family keeps photographs of her up at home.
Prince Harry has also spoken about feeling his mother’s presence in their lives, saying that it’s as though she’s watching over them. He feels this connection more strongly than ever, especially since the birth of Archie and his younger sister, Lilibet.
The HALO Trust played an important role in Princess Diana’s life, and Prince Harry has followed in her footsteps by working with the organization and bringing attention to the cause. His conversations with Archie about landmines and Princess Diana’s work demonstrate the enduring legacy of his mother’s compassion and dedication to making the world a safer place.
