Little Archie’s first words were very special for Prince Harry. In the newly released AppleTV+ docuseries The Me You Can’t See (which he’s co-created with Oprah Winfrey), the 36-year-old revealed that one of his son’s first words was “grandma.”
Harry shares that a photo of his late mother hangs in his two-year-old’s nursery. “I got a photo of her in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said – apart from ‘mama,’ ‘papa,’ it was then ‘grandma.’ Grandma Diana,” he shared. “It’s the sweetest thing, but at the same time, it makes me really sad because she should be here.”
His very first word, though? Harry revealed it was ‘crocodile.’ “He’s got the most amazing personality. He’s already putting three or four words together, he’s already singing songs,” he shared during an appearance on James Corden’s Late Late Show earlier this year.
During the docuseries’ fifth episode, never-before-seen footage of Archie and his dad swinging on a hanging bench was featured, while Harry reflected on the loss of Lady Di. “I wish she could’ve met Meghan. I wish she was around for Archie.”
The almost-father-of-two, who is expecting a baby girl this summer with Meghan, believes his mother would be proud of all he’s achieved. “Yeah, I have no doubt that my mum would be incredibly proud of me. I’m living the life that she wanted to live for herself, living the life that she wanted us to be able to live.”
“So not only do I know that she’s incredible proud of me, but that she’s helped me get here. And I’ve never felt her presence more as I have done over the last year.”
