Prince Harry is now a proud father of two children, Archie and Lilibet. But even before he became a father himself, the Duke of Sussex was always good with children—perhaps because of the lighthearted, child-like approach he took towards the kids he encountered. Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana famously said that she "lead[s] from the heart, not the head," and it's clear that her son is following in her footsteps. During a recent event promoting his book Spare, Harry also said that when it comes to his own kids, he makes sure to "smother them with love and affection."
