Prince Harry fears he will 'burn out' trying to make world better for Archie and Lilibet

Prince Harry has admitted he fears he will "burn out" trying to make the world a better place for his children.

The prince gave his latest TV interview to American network NBC, which was broadcast in the US this morning.

In the chat, filmed during the Invictus Games in the Netherlands with Hoda Kotb, Harry talked about the competition as well as about his secret meeting with his grandmother the Queen and life with wife Meghan Markle and their children Archie and Lilibet in California.

But he also shared his fears of becoming burned out when it came to his children.

He said: "My sort of mantra now every day is a dangerous one because I need to make sure I don't have burn out.

"I make a world a better place for my kids. Otherwise what is the point. Responsibility I feel as a parent you probably feel as well. And we can't fix everything. We know that. But what we can do is be there for each other."

In addition, he also talked about the challenges of working from home when his young children are running about the family mansion in Montecito, California.

He added: "This whole working from home stuff is not all it’s cracked up to be, certainly post-COVID, because it’s really hard.

"But when your kids and you are in the same place, it’s really hard to separate the work from them because they kind of overlap. So, I mean, Archie spends more time interrupting our Zoom calls.”

“But he often gets us off them, as well, so that’s also a nice thing,” he added.

Hoda then asked if Archie shares his dad's sense of cheekiness, and Harry proudly said he does.

He explained: "Yeah, and I think so. I always try and keep that. I think that, the cheekiness is something that keeps you alive."

However, he admitted it was still up in the air whether he would bring Archie, Lilibet and Meghan to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.

When asked if he would be returning, he said: "I don't know yet. There's lots of things: security issues and everything else.

"So this is what I'm trying to do, trying to make it possible that, you know, I can get my kids to meet her."

Meanwhile, Hoda also asked Harry if he misses his family, who are all in the UK.

He told her: "Yes I think especially over the last two years, everybody has missed their family and that ability to get home and see them, of course.."

However, when she followed up by asking if he specifically missed his brother Prince William and dad Prince Charles, he quickly changed the subject, before talking about missing his children Archie and Lilibet back home in California.

He responded by saying: "Look I mean for me, at the moment, I'm here focused on these guys and these families and giving everything and giving 120 per cent to them.

"Giving them an event of a lifetime is my focus here and when I leave here, when I go back, my focus is my family, who I miss massively, they are two little people."
