Prince Harry Turns Monday Blues Into Life Lesson for Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have settled back into life in the United Kingdom, and the young family is embracing the everyday rhythms of school days. Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, attend a private school near their new home, and like most youngsters, they sometimes drag their feet on Monday mornings.

Harry recently shared how he turned one such sluggish morning into a gentle teaching moment.

“At breakfast this morning, they had a bit of Monday morning blues,” he told Hello! “There’s always something like Sunday night blues or boarding school… when you’ve been away, or before you go to school.”

Rather than rushing past the mood, the duke leaned into it.

“But at breakfast this morning, I decided, ‘You know what? You’re being a little bit tricky, so I’m going to tell you exactly what I’m doing tonight.’ And they were genuinely fascinated and asking all sorts of questions. So, like with all of my work and their mum’s work as well, whatever we can do to try to instil some of that awareness, I think is absolutely crucial,” he said.

Later that day, Harry attended the Well Child Awards, honoring children across Great Britain who face serious illness with remarkable courage. He and Meghan hope their own kids will grow up understanding the importance of kindness and service.

“Once you become a parent, it does change everything. It’s not the fact that for all the years that I wasn’t a parent that meeting the kids didn’t matter as much, but you suddenly realise how grateful you are to have kids that aren’t sick,” he told Hello!
