Harry and Meghan: A Hair-Raising Adventure in Parenting
Ah, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has struck again—this time, turning the royal spotlight onto his children, Archie and Lilibet, during his visit to the WellChild Awards. Is it just me, or is it a little ironic that a chap whose family tree has more branches than an oak will now be giving parenting advice?
The Mystery of Mini Sussex
Since packing their bags and heading to sunny California, things have been a tad hush-hush on the little Sussex front. You’d think with all that royal lineage, they’d be parading their kids around like prized show ponies. But alas, the royal children have lived under a cloak of secrecy—like a family of charming ninjas.
Harry recently divulged a delightful tidbit during an appearance that Lilibet, his daughter, has inherited her mother’s thick hair. “Archie and Lili have been blessed with his mother’s thick hair,” he said with a twinkle in his eye. Talk about a royal perm—next thing you know, Lilibet will be rocking a bun that could house a small bird! Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into a full-on mane reminiscent of an overgrown lion.
The Redhead Dilemma
On ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert‘, Harry mused about the redhead gene, expressing his doubts. “The Spencer gene is very, very strong,” he quipped, probably recalling his own family reunions where red hair is less a gene and more of a family badge of honour. Imagine Harry’s confusion, standing there wondering if he’d end up with running around screaming children resembling ancient Scottish warriors.
Parenting: From Royal Rigidity to California Cool
Whereas Harry was taught to mind his Ps and Qs in the rigid royal corridors, he’s now doing the cha-cha of parenting with Meghan in a much more relaxed environment. They’re like the fun uncles of the royal family, ditching the crown for Crocs and embracing a lifestyle that includes less formality and considerably more Disney Plus.
Instead of stiff upper lips, they’re teaching their little ones the values of empathy, respect, and some semblance of connection to nature, which is rare in a world where most kids think “nature” is a catchy app for their tablets. The Duke of Sussex is carving out a niche where the shackles of royal obligation just don’t apply. And honestly, it’s about time!
A Balancing Act
Let’s face it; raising royal children in a non-royal environment is akin to inviting a cat to swim lessons. Harry and Meghan seem to be mixing tradition with modern parenting tactics, avoiding the pressures of palace life. They’re creating their own little kingdom, free from the pomp and circumstance that usually drowns traditional royals in a sea of tiaras and tea.
So here’s to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, blazing their own path in the parenting arena, one wild tuft of hair at a time. As Archie and Lilibet grow, the world watches, waiting to see if they’ll end up with the thick, luscious locks of their mother or inherit some of that crown jewel red—and perhaps a sense of humour that could outshine even their dad’s finest one-liners!
Will their kids end up appearing on the next season of Royal Family: Unplugged? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: They’re already making waves on the playground, and who knows, they might just be the next big thing in royal history. Cheers to the little ones, may their hair and happiness flourish!

Regarding his children’s hair, the Duke of Sussex said in an interview on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ that he doubted whether his children would have the redhead gene. However, the Duke was very confused: ” The Spencer gene is very, very strong. “In fact, at the beginning of my relationship with Meghan I thought that if I ever had children, there was no way the red hair gene could stand up to my wife’s genes.”
