Prince Harry reveals the one personal trait his children ‘stole’ from Meghan Markle

Archie and Lilibet have something in common with their mother.

Much has been made over the years of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle abandoning royal duties. It was, and continues to be, an extremely controversial move that has been criticized plenty. But they had good reasons for their collective decision, and the biggest one appeared to be their children, Archie and Lilibet.

Harry and Meghan wanted to take their children out of the public eye as much as they could, something that wasn’t possible in the United Kingdom. Therefore, they moved to California and began a somewhat new life, a fresh start for the family as a whole. While we rarely get to see Archie and Lilibet, Harry and Meghan provide updates about them when they feel it’s necessary.

Chief content officer of HELLO! magazine, Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon, got the opportunity to meet Harry in person at the WellChild Awards in September. While speaking with him, Harry revealed a specific detail about their children that comes directly from Meghan.

Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marvelled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.

While that may be true, their two children definitely didn’t inherit their mother’s hair color. Both Archie and Lilibet have their father’s ginger gene, something that even Harry himself didn’t think would happen. It certainly makes them distinct in that respect.

Archie is now five years old, while Lilibet is three. We’d grown used to seeing Lili with her short red hair, but it sounds like Harry and Meghan are letting it grow out as much as possible.
