Prince Harry provides update on Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet after surname storm

The royal joked that information about his children was "top secret" before speaking of the positive impact becoming a father has had on him.

Harry said: "The kids are doing great, the kids are growing up like all kids do, very fast.

"They have both got an incredible sense of humour and make us laugh and keep us grounded every day.

"I am just very grateful to be a dad."

It comes as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will use Sussex as their surname.

Rather than being known as Mountbatten-Windsors, Archie and Lilibet have been known as Archie Sussex and Lilibet Sussex since King Charles's Coronation in May 2023.

Meghan and Harry launched their new website Sussex.com in a major rebrand this week.

A source said regarding the decision to rebrand under the Sussex title: "The reality behind the new site is very simple — it’s a hub for the work the Sussexes do and it reflects the fact the family have, since the King’s Coronation, the same surname for the first time.

They told the Times: "That’s a big deal for any family. It represents their unification and it’s a proud moment."

Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the Royal Family but have been allowed to retain their Sussex titles.

The use of Sussex in the name of their website sparked a backlash from some close to the Royal Family.

However, a source close to Sussexes has hit out at criticism of the couple's choice of name for their website.

They told the Mail: "Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That is a fact. It is their surname and family name."
