Prince Harry mixed humor with heartfelt reflections during a lighthearted podcast appearance, joking that his job is being a “full-time dad” and “Prince of England” while opening up about family life, fatherhood and coping with life’s challenges.

The interview, hosted by former England rugby international Joe Marler, was recorded shortly before Harry reunited privately with King Charles and Queen Camilla, a meeting that reportedly left the Duke of Sussex feeling “very happy” and “really energised.”

During one of the podcast’s playful segments, Marler asked Harry to describe his occupation.

“Full-time dad, uh, British Army veteran, Prince of England,” Harry replied.

Moments later, after introducing himself as “Henry Charles Albert David, Duke of Sussex,” Harry jokingly exaggerated the word “duke” in an upper-class English accent. The hosts laughed as they settled on describing his role as both a “duke” and the “inventor” of the Invictus Games.

Harry also revealed he has no preference between being called Harry or simply “H,” before sharing a few lighter personal details.

Asked about his guilty-pleasure television choice, he admitted Love Island was his favorite “trashy” show, adding with a smile, “I don’t watch Love Island, I have watched Love Island.”

The Duke was equally self-deprecating when discussing his appearance, joking that his hair should no longer be described as “ginger” but rather “sunset auburn.”

Laughing at his receding hairline, he added, “There’s nothing really happening on top.”

“I get a haircut, otherwise I try not to look at what’s happening,” he joked.

Harry also teased his friendship with former England rugby player James Haskell, who co-hosts a podcast with Mike Tindall—the husband of Harry’s cousin Zara Tindall. Mike is widely believed to have become distant from Harry following the Duke and Meghan Markle’s departure from royal duties.

Beyond the humor, the conversation turned to more personal subjects, including Harry’s approach to fatherhood.

Speaking about raising Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, Harry revealed that he often expresses affection the same way his late mother, Princess Diana, did with him and Prince William.

“If a day is hard, one thing I will do is always squeeze my kids that extra, extra tight,” he said.

Harry has previously recalled how Diana would hug both him and William “as tight as possible,” and he reflected on how resilient children can be.

“The resilience of kids is amazing and the way they view life is so incredibly refreshing,” he said.

The podcast was recorded before Harry’s private family reunion at Highgrove, where he, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet reportedly spent more than an hour with King Charles and Queen Camilla between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday.

According to friends, the meeting left Harry feeling “buoyed, very happy and really energised.” It also reportedly marked the King’s first opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren in four years.

Meghan, who secretly traveled to Britain with the family, attended the private reunion but did not accompany Harry to his Invictus Games engagements because of the Duke’s ongoing dispute with the UK government over taxpayer-funded police protection.

The reunion came during a difficult week for Harry, who had also suffered a significant defeat in his privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail.

While some critics questioned King Charles’ decision to meet with Harry and Meghan following years of public tensions between the couple and the Royal Family, one royal source defended the reunion.

“Blood is blood,” the source said, adding, “Every journey of a thousand miles begins with one footstep.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Harry predicted success for England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, saying, “I think it’s coming home, not going to be easy – never is.”

Asked which famous Harry he would choose to be for a day—Harry Styles, Harry Kane or Harry Potter—he answered with a grin: “Kane on a winning day.”

He also revealed his simple grooming routine—“s*, shave, shower”**—and said he trims his beard every five or six days.

Turning serious once again, Harry spoke about managing trauma, emphasizing the importance of routine, physical activity and mental wellbeing.

“Exercise, sport and being able to find the time to take yourself somewhere, do something—repetition is great, have a routine,” he explained.

He added that boxing remains one of his favorite ways to relieve stress.

“Another thing that I really enjoy, just to let the aggression out, get a sweat on. To me it’s always about getting a sweat on.”

Blending humor, honesty and personal reflection, Harry’s appearance offered a rare glimpse into both his playful side and the values that continue to shape his life as a husband, father and founder of the Invictus Games.
