Prince Harry revealed new details about kids Archie and Lilibet in a video while speaking with understanding and empathy to sick children and their parents for a good cause.

For 15 years, Prince Harry has been a patron of the WellChild charity, which takes care of sick children. The focus of the organization is that they can be cared for in their own homes and their parents can receive support. Long before Prince Harry himself became the father of two children, he always had a heart for the little ones, which can also be seen in his latest video for the organization.

Due to the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the funeral ceremonies that followed, Prince Harry was unable to present the WellChild Awards to sick children and their parents in September. But the prince came up with something to give the little ones a little joy afterwards and arranged to meet them for a video call. The organization has now published excerpts from the calls, which show the 38-year-old as loving, approachable, interested and very warm. He chats with the kids about whether they also have a superhero cape, for example, and has a sick child’s favorite book shown to him and explained to him.

Prince Harry: His dogs are an emotional support for the family

He also talks relaxed about his little ones from his property in California. Three-year-old Archie is said to have a real squeaky voice and is always busy, and his one-year-old sister Lilibet is just learning to use her voice, which he thinks is great. Harry also spoke about his three dogs, a black Labrador named Pula and rescued beagles Guy and Mia. He said: “The three of them run around chasing squirrels and giving us all kinds of problems every day. But they are also emotional support dogs, if they behave.”

One of Harry’s phone calls was with 10-year-old Shakeerah Crowther, the only known survivor of a rare bacterial brain infection she contracted while being treated for a brain tumor. Spotting a giant giraffe balloon of the little ones in the background, Prince Harry asked her, “Shakeerah, how long have you had that giraffe? Because Archie also has a giraffe that’s been around for a very long time and we call her Gerald.” Later in the conversation, the girl told Harry in sign language that she was “sorry about the death of his grandmother, the Queen”. “That’s cute,” Harry replied.
