On Saturday, the Duke of Sussex visited the Scotty’s Little Soldiers summer festival in Warwickshire, where he talked about his family and took part in goat yoga12:02, 13 Jul 2026Prince Harry has spoken candidly about his late mother Princess Diana, and his children Archie and Lilibet on his final engagement of his UK trip before heading back to his home in California.‌The Duke of Sussex visited Scotty’s Little Soldiers summer festival at Maxstoke Castle, Warwickshire, on Saturday, less than 24 hours after taking his wife Meghan and their kids for a private family reunion with the King and Queen at Highgrove.‌Harry, whose military service included two operational tours in Afghanistan, has worked with Scotty’s Little Soldiers, which supports bereaved military children, since 2017 and became global ambassador in 2023.‌During a Q&A session with some of the 200 children and their family members at the event, Harry was asked by a teenager if he does anything special to commemorate the anniversary of his mother’s death on August 31, or her birthday on July 1.“Yes, we do lemon drizzle cake,” Harry said. “I think traditions are really, really important, especially when they’re sweet.”‌The duke also spoke about his children Archie and Lilibet, when nine-year-old Poppy, whose father, Able Seaman Daniel Turnbull, died in July 2020 from leukaemia, asked: “What makes you laugh when you’ve had a difficult day?”Harry patted his heart, saying: “You know what, sometimes it’s just a difficult day. It’s not always possible to laugh but my dog makes me laugh, my children make me laugh, and if I need to laugh I’ll probably put something really funny on the television.‌“But, and this goes for all of you, there are some days when you’d like to laugh but it might not always be possible to laugh. But you’ve got brothers and sisters, friends, this community… but yes, I think the point is that a laugh at the end of a hard day is the best medicine served.”Also during the visit, Harry took part in “goat yoga” and was pelted with water bombs. Reassured that goats “love love”, Harry took his place on a blue mat and performed a variation of the tree pose, standing on one leg while making goat ears with his hands.Told to look into the eyes of a goat, he successfully stared down one animal for some time, almost touching noses. Harry also lay on his back as goats trampled over him, and someone in the crowd watching joked that his security team had failed to protect the “crown jewels” when one of the animals stepped on his crotch.‌After feeding the goats, he raced three-year-old River over to an inflatable obstacle course, where he was pelted with water bombs.‌Saturday was the last day of engagements for Prince Harry, the day after he marked the official one year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. Following the hours-long event, Harry, along with his wife and children, had a private reunion with his estranged father King Charles and mother-in-law Queen Camilla at Highgrove.Buckingham Palace confirmed the meeting, as officials described the reunion at the King's home in Gloucestershire as a "private family occasion" and no images of the family reunion will be released.It is the first time Harry and Meghan have been in the UK together since 2022, when they attended the funeral of his grandmother the late Queen Elizabeth. It also marks the first time the King has seen his two youngest grandchildren since the Sussex family flew in for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.Article continues below
