The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, recently disclosed the delightful chaos that often accompanies his professional video meetings, thanks to his two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Appearing on the Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know podcast, the Duke shared that during his calls, his son and daughter "just barge in." Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, share an office in their Montecito, California, home, and the children, aged six and four respectively, are naturally curious about their parents' work.

When asked what his children believe he does, Prince Harry confirmed that they understand their parents are involved in charitable efforts to "help other people," but they remain oblivious to the specific details. The children's primary interest in crashing the calls is not related to the business at hand, but simply to interact with the attendees. Prince Harry playfully described on the podcast the moment when they climb onto his lap, eager to say hello, despite his occasional attempts to gesture for them to wait.
