The Duke of Sussex is a former working royal and more recently, a Netflix producer. But first and foremost, he's a father.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their first son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019.
Since then, Harry has showed off his son during his royal tour of Africa last year, and even captured a sweet video of Markle and Archie for his first birthday.
Here are 11 times Prince Harry was just a regular dad.

Like any new parent, Harry was excited to show Archie Harrison off for the first time — the main difference was that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had a camera crew waiting for them.

Just because he's a royal, that doesn't mean Harry doesn't have work commitments. Just three days after Archie's birth, he travelled to The Netherlands for the launch of The Invictus Games.

Harry has always made sure to maintain his son's privacy, so only two official photos were released from Archie's christening in July 2019.
