Prince Harry got very candid about the conversations that he has been having with his son Archie.
Prince Harry Was Candid With His Son Archie About Disability Amid The Invictus Games-‘Kids Understand So Much’
Archie may only be 2-years-old, but his father is one of the most-talked-about people on the planet, even if sometimes it is for the wrong reasons.
And as part of that process of growing up in a privileged environment, Harry sought to teach his son the valuable lessons that we can learn from the harsh realities that people have to experience.
And following the conclusion of the Invictus Games this month, where members of the military personnel who have suffered injury compete against each other, Harry felt there was no better time to introduce Archie to the struggle that people go through with disabilities.
In an interview with People magazine, Harry said: “I showed Archie a video of wheelchair basketball and rugby from the Invictus Games in Sydney, and he absolutely loved it.
“I …explained that some had invisible injuries, too. Not because he asked, but because I wanted to tell him.” This is hardly a surprise, even if the timing could be questioned, for the following reason.
First of all, Harry has lent his support throughout the years towards the Invictus game especially since he had served in the British Army during Afghanistan.
Therefore, it is only natural that he would want to pass on that knowledge to Archie who may continue this venture in the future. Secondly, in any event, it could be argued that there is never really a right time to have a discussion about such issues.
And now that this is out of the way, Harry has tackled a conversation that every parent will have probably had at some point. And by the looks of it, things went very well.
Harry added: “Kids understand so much, and to see it through his eyes was amazing because it’s so unfiltered and honest.”
Did Harry do the right thing? So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
