Prince Harry is a real doting father with his children Archie and Lilibet, he does the complete opposite of his father Charles!

This September 15, 2024, the youngest son of Charles III celebrates his 40th birthday. Last school year, he and his wife Meghan Markle enrolled their children in a private school in California, where the family lives. Regarding the education of Archie (5 years old) and Lilibet (3 years old), Harry takes the opposite approach to his father: no fancy boarding school, no servants and no public engagements.

He was 12 years old the day his mother died in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. From that moment on, of course, nothing was ever the same for Henry Charles Albert David, known as Harry, Duke of Sussex. He then had to deal with the weight of the absence and the increased attention that the world focused on him and his brother, William. Their father, Charles – who became King Charles III on September 8, 2022 – did what he could to preserve their childhood and adolescence. But the two brothers could not escape the a thousand and one constraints that the status of prince implies.

Attending their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s birthdays, charitable Christmas Day Services, Charles’ polo matches, family holiday photos, weddings… Harry and William complied with all these rites and, often, one could sense that it weighed on them. Especially the younger one, less inclined to these social events.

One of his worst memories remains his arrival at Eton College September 3, 1998. That day, in addition to the stress inherent in entering the holy of holies of the British elite (frequented by former Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and David Cameron or the author of James BondIan Fleming), he had to endure the cumbersome presence of his country’s press.

Harry always swore to himself that he would spare himself these chores…
