In the new Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, we truly learn a lot about the experiences of Prince Harry and Megan Markle from their point of view. In between the couple discussing their “adult stories,” they find time to talk about their two children, three-year-old Archie Harrison and one-year-old daughter Lilibet Diana. Among the anecdotes and fun stories about the pair, Prince Harry shares his feelings and tells viewers how proud he is to be a dad of bi-racial children.
“My son, my daughter, my children are mixed race, and I’m really proud of that. When my kids grow up and they look back at this moment and they turn to me and say, ‘What did you do in this moment?’ I want to be able to give them an answer,” Prince Harry said in the docuseries.
He continued, “I think it’s such a responsibility as human beings that if you bring a small person into this world that you should be doing everything you can to make the world a better place for them.”
The couple are both extremely protective of their children’s privacy. Meghan Markle stated that she constantly worries about whether her children are safe or not in light of the many harmful and negative threats that she receives.
“I’m a mom. That’s my real life. And that’s the piece when you see it and you go, ‘You are making people want to kill me. It’s not just a tabloid. It’s not just some story. You are making me scared.’ Right?” she said.
“That night, to be up and down in the middle of the night, looking down my hallway, like, ‘Are we safe? Are the doors locked? Is security on? Is every— that’s real. ‘Are my babies safe?’ And you’ve created it for what? Because you’re bored or because it sells your papers or it makes you feel better about your own life? It’s real what you’re doing. And that’s the piece I don’t think people fully understand.”
Yet, the couple does give viewers get a glimpse into their lives with their children. There are scenes with Archie and Prince Harry bird-watching and others that include a day at the beach with the entire family, including their dogs, a scene with Meghan and Archie in the kitchen, among many others.
