Today feels so weird to me, and this Prince Harry video is not helping with my dream-state existence. Like, I’ve always liked Harry. I’ve adored him, frankly. I think he’s sexy and silly and fun, and I think he’s much better princeling than his brother, Work-Shy Will. But this video sort of takes it next-level. He’s SO LOVELY. Harry sat down with Robin Roberts at Good Morning America for an interview to support the Invictus Games this May in Orlando. The games are Harry’s baby – he was inspired by the American Warrior Games, and he took that idea and expounded on it to form the Invictus Games. And just FYI – he has done and continues to do a ton of work to get the Invictus Games going, and very little of that work appears on the Court Circular (the official record of royal events). Anyway, enough talking, here’s the video:

His voice sounds scratchy, like he’s almost about to cry during certain moments, especially when he talks about his mother. The interview was conducted in Kensington Palace, in what was his mother’s sitting room. He tells Robin:

“This used to be our mum’s sitting room, so she had a study through there with her desk where she used to listen to all sort of her crazy music. It took a little bit of getting used to, not that we ever forget. We think about her every day… I hope she’s looking down with tears in her eyes, being incredibly proud of what we’ve established, I suppose. I’m sure she’s longing for me to have kids so she can be a grandmother again, but I hope that, once again, everything we do privately and officially, that it makes her proud. I think losing your mother at such a young age, does end up shaping your life, massively. Of course it does. And now I find myself trying to be there and give advice to other people who are in similar positions…[we] do everything we can to make sure that she’s never forgotten and carry on all of the special gifts, as such, that she had and that she portrayed when she was alive. I hope that a lot of my mother’s talents are shown in a lot of the work that I do.”

Harry also says he can’t wait to have kids, and he hopes he’s the “fun uncle” to his niece and nephew. He also says that like his mother, he prefers to greet people with hugs rather than handshakes. This was a really good interview!
