Prince Harry reveals son Prince Archie asks to see videos of 'Grandma Diana'
Prince Harry has revealed how his five-year-old son Prince Archie asks to see photos and video clips of his late grandmother, Princess Diana.
The Duke of Sussex made the touching revelation during the 2025 Invictus Games which are currently taking place in Vancouver, Canada.
During a candid chat amid the sporting action, the father-of-two revealed how he had recent conversations with Prince Archie on the topic of landmines, and how their chats ultimately led to discussions about "Grandma Diana".
"Archie was asking about landmines, so I was talking about how some of these guys were blown up," Prince Harry said. "But then I found myself talking with him about mines at five years old, and interestingly it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn't even really consider."

Harry continued: "So that became the outcome of the story for him. He then saw videos… he wanted to see photos of his grandma Diana out doing her thing with landmines all those years ago. So it produced a very interesting conversation between me and him, different from what I thought it was going to be."

Harry and William's mother Diana worked closely with The HALO Trust before her untimely death in 1997. The trust works to clear landmines and other explosive devices left behind by conflicts. She also famously walked through an active landmine in Huambo, Angola, in a bid for an international ban.
Prince Harry went on to follow in his mother's footsteps and some 22 years later he returned to the same minefield to bring further awareness to the important cause.
The Duke first spoke of the sweet term "Grandma Diana" back in 2022 during an interview with Today'sHoda Kotb. When asked whether he talks to Archie and Lilibet about his mother Princess Diana, Harry said: "I don't tell him [Archie] all the stuff that's happened, but certainly that this is Grandma Diana, and we've got a couple of photos up in the house."
He also explained how he feels her presence constantly, saying: "It has been over the last two years more so than ever before.
"It is almost as though she's done her bit with my brother and now she's very much like helping me. She got him set up and now she's helping me set up. That's what it feels like. He's got his kids, I've got my kids."
He added: "She's watching over us."
