Prince Harry is focused on being the best dad to little Archie and Lilibet, and is trying to learn from past mistakes.
It has been an intense week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after reports the two have been invited to King Charles’ Coronation in May.
The royal also sat down with Dr Gabor Maté on Saturday to discuss his biography, Spare, in a live interview.
Opening up about fatherhood, Harry shared his secret to getting his two children, aged three and one, to stop crying.

He said: ‘Your children pick up on your energy more than you will ever know.
‘If you had asked me about energy, seven, eight, 10 years ago I would have said “What are you talking about”. When I had my first child I realised what was going on.’
Harry stressed it is ‘all about energy’, before adding: ‘Sometimes I would have to remove myself from the room, take a deep breath, let it out.
‘And literally try and change my whole energy and go back in there. And all of a sudden he’s falling asleep in my arms.’

He also shared that he believes children should be allowed space to experience anger and frustration, the Mirror reported.
‘If they have a moment of frustration, allow them to have that and then talk to them about it afterwards,’ the dad added.
‘Kids having those outbursts I think is part of growing up.’
Alongside discussing which drugs helped him mentally, the prince also opened up about his deployment to Afghanistan and the death of his mum, Diana, Princess of Wales.
