Prince Harry Lovingly Talks About His Son Archie's Many Dream Jobs

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are raising children with big dreams. At the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in the Hague, Prince Harry talked about how the participants of the Games are role models to his son, Archie Harrison.
"When I talk to my son, Archie, about what he wants to be when he grows up, some days it’s an astronaut. Other days it’s a pilot—a helicopter pilot, obviously." Harry served in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot, so it is only natural his son is interested in his dad's career.
"Or Kwazii, from Octonauts," Prince Harry continued. "If you're laughing then you've seen that." For those without a 2-year-old toddler in their home, Kwazii is one of the main characters of Netflix's Octonauts; his character, a cat, is described as "a daredevil orange kitten with a mysterious pirate past. He loves excitement and traveling to exotic places. His favorite hobbies include long baths, racing the Gup-B, and general swashbuckling."
It makes sense that Archie is a fan of a Netflix show; his parents partnered with Netflix in a multi-year deal in 2020. As a matter of fact, their first Netflix project is a docuseries called Heart of Invictus, documenting the lead-up to the Invictus Games in the Hague. (There's no premiere date yet for the show.)
Harry continued in his speech, "what I remind him is that no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it’s your character that matters most. And nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us: You." (The "you" here refers to the Invictus Games participants.)
The Invictus Games are a cause long close to Harry's heart; he founded the Games in 2014 and has been their biggest cheerleader ever since. Harry and Meghan even debuted their relationship at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto.
The Invictus Games in the Hague were the first big trip of 2022 for the Sussexes, and en route, they stopped in Windsor to visit Queen Elizabeth. Throughout the opening weekend of the Games, they spoke of their children.
"I will never, ever, ever rest until I as a parent have tried to make the world a better place for them because it is our responsibility," Prince Harry also said at the Games, responding to a question about what his wish for Archie and Lili was.
Harry is set to remain the Hague for the rest of the competition, while Meghan reportedly flew home to California to be with Archie and Lili.
