Prince Harry Gets Emotional Remembering Meghan Markle’s Pregnancy With Archie
Do you need another reason to love Prince Harry and his love for Meghan Markle? Hope so, because we're about to give you one! On Tuesday evening, while giving a speech at the Well Child Awards, Prince Harry teared up when talking about the Duchess of Sussex's pregnancy. Clearly, these two were made to be parents.
While speaking to the crowd, Harry revealed that at last year's awards, he and Meghan were expecting -- but nobody knew yet.
"Last year, when my wife and I attended, we knew we were expecting our first child -- no one else did at the time, but we did -- and I remember..." the duke said, before his eyes welled up and he took a needed pause.
After he collected himself, he continued: "I remember squeezing Meghan's hand so tight during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day," he said, adding, "And more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time."
Harry, who's been a patron of Well Child since 2007, and Meghan attend the event every year, which honors seriously ill children and their caregivers.
However, despite being a veteran of the emotional night, during his speech the duke revealed that being a father has made him look at the awards in a new light.
"And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heartstrings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own," Harry said.
Both Harry and Meghan spoke about their son during the event, with Meghan revealing a few sweet details about Archie.
While speaking with a crowd, the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she recently took Archie to his very first playgroup, which, not surprisingly, "he loved."
So cute!
The new parents also made mention of the fact that their son has red hair, just like dad.
