- Prince Harry revealed his kids Archie and Lilibet love watching a British TV show
- Harry also shared during his tour of the U.K. for the upcoming Invictus Games that Archie is “obsessed with Lego” and called him a “master builder” during a hospital visit

Prince Harry’s kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, still tune into British TV despite living in the U.S.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, revealed while appearing on ITV’s This Morning with Alison Hammond that one of his children’s favorite shows is one of Britain’s classics.
“By the way, my kids love Junior Bakeoff,” he told Hammond, 51, who hosts the adult version called the Great British Baking Show.
“Stop it! Do they?” asked Hammond of Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.
“Absolutely love it. And I love it as well,” Harry added, before teasing, “It’s far better than the grown-up version.”
The adult version of the show is also said to boast a few royal fans, with judge Paul Hollywood sharing in 2014 that Harry’s brother Prince William and Kate Middleton watched the show, per Hello!.
Harry is currently in the U.K. to mark the one-year countdown to next summer’s Invictus Games, an international, Paralympic-style multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans, in Birmingham, England.
It was announced over the weekend that his wife Meghan Markle, 44, and their children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 — would not join Harry for the London leg of the trip due to security concerns. However, it was later reported on Thursday, July 9, that they would travel to Britain but not make any public appearances.

During his latest visit to the U.K., he also revealed a few more sweet tidbits about his children. While visiting Birmingham Children’s Hospital as a patron of the British charity WellChild, he opened up about Archie’s latest obsession while meeting 12-year-old Alec Hill.
“Do you know who’s obsessed with Lego? My son, Archie — and he’s a master builder,” Harry told Alec and his parents during a visit on Thursday.

While Prince Harry and Meghan remain largely private about their children’s lives and do not share their faces on social media, from time to time, they do share sweet family moments that happen, especially while living in their home in Montecito, California.
In October 2025, the Duke of Sussex opened up during an appearance on Lemonada Media’s Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know podcast about what his kids thinks he does when he works.
“They know that we help other people, but they don’t know the background,” Harry said, referencing his charitable efforts.

After a bit of banter, Minhaj pressed, “When you’re like, ‘Daddy’s on a call,’ what do they think?”
“All they’re interested in is saying hi to the people on the call. Or they’re fascinated to see other people.”
“They love seeing familiar faces. They will run in and kind of, occasionally, there’s the moment with the hand on the forehead, saying, ‘Not now,’ “ Harry joked about Archie and Lili. “But then they just jump on the lap and say, ‘Hi guys!’ “
