Prince Harry's Parenting Aspirations

Prince Harry has spoken of his parenting aspirations and said he hopes to be a good role model for his son Archie.

The 34-year-old royal welcomed the baby boy with his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in May, one year after they tied the knot.

Speaking at a National Youth Mentoring Summit connected to the Diana Awards charity, Prince Harry said: "I'm struck by a few things today, most of which is the power of the invisible role model. The person who may be sitting here today that doesn't realise that someone looks up to them, that - for that person - you inspire them to be kinder, better, greater, more successful, more impactful.

"Perhaps it's the newfound clarity I have as a father knowing that my son will always be watching what I do, mimicking my behaviour, one day maybe even following in my footsteps. But it's not just my role as a father that shows me that; it's in the people I see every day that don't realise how inspirational they are to those watching."

And the new dad also touched on how his mother - who passed away in 1997 - had been a role model to many people "without realising" it.

He added: "My mother, Princess Diana, was a role model to so many, without realising the impact she would have on so many lives. You don't have to be a princess or a public figure to be a role model, in fact it's equally valuable if you're not because it's more relatable. Being a role model and mentor can help heal the wounds of your own past and create a better future for someone else."
