Prince Harry claims to have "no issues" when dropping Archie and Lilibet at school as he opened up about parenting since leaving the UK.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, currently lives in California alongside Meghan Markle, 43, and their two children.


The pair recently attended the Invictus Games in Canada, a sporting tournament Harry founded for injured or wounded service personnel in 2024.

Harry and Meghan met athletes and spectators, with the duchess documenting a behind-the-scenes look at the event.

Richie McCaw, former rugby player and spectator at the Games, met with Prince Harry.

In an interview with Us Weekly, he explained that the pair spoke about Harry's two children, Archie and Lilibet.

Recalling the conversation, he asked Prince Harry: "How things go"

Harry replied: "Well, life's going on pretty good."

Harry added: "I can drop the kids off at school… without any issue.

"And hey, we all take that for granted, don't we?"

The now Californian-based royals announced they would be stepping back from working duties in January 2020 and shortly after moved to the US.

Prince Harry has claimed the move was to protect his family from public attention and scrutiny.

He has made a conscious effort to hide the faces of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet so as not to share their image with the outside world.

However, in a surprising U-turn, Meghan Markle used a photo of Princess Lilibet to feature in promotional material for the lifestyle brand 'As Ever'.

Royal expert Duncan Larcombe suggested that the image likely "shocked" many royal watchers, given Harry's previous views on publicity.

According to Larcombe, Meghan's approach of "tentatively" sharing their children marks a significant shift.
