Prince Harry says Archie said ‘grandma’ as one of his first words: 'It makes me really sad'

Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed Archie more than two decades after Diana was killed in a car crash

Prince Harry revealed that "grandma" was one of his 2-year-old son Archie’s first words.

Harry, 36, shared the heartfelt story behind Archie’s tribute to the Duke of Sussex’s late mother, Princess Diana, in his and Oprah Winfrey’s AppleTV+ show, "The Me You Can’t See," which premiered on Thursday night.

"I’ve got a photo of her in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said — apart from ‘mama,’ ‘papa,’ it was then ‘grandma.’ Grandma Diana," Harry said.

"It’s the sweetest thing, but at the same time, it makes me really sad because she should be here," the royal continued.
