Prince Harry chats about Prince Archie

During Prince Harry's appearance at Birmingham Children's Hospital he did make reference to his son, Prince Archie, though. 

During a meet with 12-year-old Alec Hill, Harry revealed a skill that his seven-year-old son has. "Do you know who’s obsessed with Lego? My son Archie – and he's a master builder," the father-of-two said. 

Harry's disappointing news

While the thought of his wife and children joining him will boost his spirits, Prince Harry has had a tough week with the news breaking that he lost a court case against Associated Newspapers Limited, which publishes titles including the Daily Mail. Harry, alongside claimants like Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley alleged unlawful information gathering from journalists at the publication.

The Duke was very unhappy with the dismissal and he wrote a statement to condemn the decision

He released a lengthy joint statement with Baroness Doreen Lawrence to say that he believes it to be an "obvious whitewash" as well as being "shocking" and "unwarranted".
