The Duke of Sussex opened up about his new life in Santa Barbara with wife Meghan and their one-year-old son Archie during the couple's interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on CBS on Sunday.

When asked by Oprah what he now cherishes in his life in the US, Prince Harry said that he valued having outdoor space for walks as a family and that one of his highlights was putting Archie in his baby seat on the back of a bicycle.

He added that going out on bike rides wasn't something he was able to do when he was young. However, these adorable childhood photos, some of them taken on the royal family's estates, show Harry cycling with his father Prince Charles and older brother Prince William.
