Prince Harry doesn’t talk about his kids much – probably to protect them from the media. But he did just reveal that his daughter, Lilibet, inherited a trait from her mother.
At a glance:
- Prince Harry revealed that his daughter Lilibet has inherited Meghan Markle’s thick hair and that it is so long she can “almost sit on it.”
- Meghan Markle stayed at home with their two children while Harry attended ten solo engagements, including the WellChild Awards in London.
- The WellChild Awards celebrate seriously ill children and those who support them, a cause Harry has championed for over 15 years.
During his appearance at the WellChild Awards in London, Prince Harry made a rare comment about his children, revealing that his daughter, Princess Lilibet, has inherited her mother Meghan Markle’s thick hair. He noted, “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair… it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.” This sweet revelation came as Harry attended the event without Meghan, who stayed in California to care for their children.
Meghan Markle, who shares five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet with Prince Harry, remained at the couple’s Montecito home while Harry traveled to the UK. Over the past 15 days, Harry has attended ten solo engagements across New York, London, and Lesotho, including events showcasing his charitable initiatives in southern Africa and sustainable tourism. Despite their global public profiles, the couple prefers to keep their children out of the spotlight, with rare appearances in documentaries and holiday cards.

During his time at the WellChild Awards, Harry spent time with inspiring young people battling serious illnesses, including a child named George, who is passionate about powerchair football and disability inclusion in sports. The awards, hosted by WellChild, a charity that supports seriously ill children and their families, have long been close to Harry’s heart. As patron of WellChild for over 15 years, Harry’s continued involvement has provided the charity with a platform to tell the stories of these resilient children and their families.
The Duke of Sussex has attended this event regularly since his departure from royal duties, marking it as one of the few UK-based causes he supports in person. WellChild’s chief executive, Matt James, highlighted the significance of Harry’s involvement, saying it gives the award winners an unforgettable night while raising awareness for families facing challenges that are often unrecognized.
While Lilibet may take after her mother in hair length and texture, her blonde hair stands out in the rare glimpses seen of her. Archie, on the other hand, is said to resemble his father with his ginger hair, something Harry previously discussed during a 2023 interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Harry humorously remarked that he didn’t expect the Spencer family’s “ginger gene” to win over Meghan’s, but admitted he was wrong.
