Prince Harry wears 'I Am Daddy' jacket as he returns to work after welcoming Baby Archie

Just a few days after becoming a dad for the first time Prince Harry was back to work as he travelled to The Hague for a very, very special event.

The Duke made the flying visit to officially launch the countdown to the 2020 Invictus Games, a competition he set up for injured and sick servicemen and women.

Despite probably being a bit short on sleep, Harry looked delighted to be at the event his little boy Archie was never from his mind.

He was presented with an adorable baby grow for his son, and was even wearing an 'I Am Daddy' jacket while riding a bike.

Sweet meaning behind Meghan Markle's royal baby name - and it's a touching tribute to Harry  

The Duke, who flew into the country on Thursday morning, was met by Princess Margriet and chairman of the games Mart de Kruif as he stepped out of the car in front of well wishers, some of whom had brought gifts for baby Archie.

Daimy Gommers whose Dad, Paul, lost a leg in a parachute accident gave the Duke a rattle baby toy when the pair were introduced.

Some excited students at the sports campus were heard shouting 'marry me Harry!' at the prince.

There were also some shouts of congratulations.

The fifth Invictus Games will be held in The Hague from May 9 to May 16 next year.

It had previously been reported  Prince Harry would take two weeks paternity leave on the birth of his baby to show he was a "modern dad".

A friend of the prince is reported to have said: "He doesn't need to take paternity leave because he doesn't work in the way most people do but he thinks it's a very modern dad thing to do."
