Prince Harry’s 4-year-old son, Archie, already has his future mapped out ahead of him.
“When I talk to my son Archie about what he wants to be when he grows up, some days it’s an astronaut, other days it’s a pilot,” the Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed about his oldest child in his new Netflix docuseries, “Heart of Invictus.”
“But what I remind him is no matter what you want to be when you grow up, it’s your character that matters most,” he continued.
In the first episode of the five-part limited series, which premiered Wednesday, Harry gave a speech to a group of athletes, to whom he paid tribute while discussing Archie’s future aspirations.
“Nothing would make his mum and me prouder than to see him have the character of what we see before us today — you,” he added regarding the players themselves.
Harry also has a 2-year-old daughter, Lilibet, with wife Meghan Markle.
He and the “Suits” star, 42, have had a tense relationship with the royal family in recent years, and the Invictus Games founder even took a dig at “the Firm” in the new show.
He claimed that he felt alone after his mother, Princess Diana, died in a 1997 car crash — but he truly felt its impact following his military service in Afghanistan.
Harry was deployed to the country in 2012 and stayed in the military until 2015.
“The trigger to me was actually returning from Afghanistan, but the stuff that was coming up was from …1997 from the age of 12,” he said in the doc.
“The biggest struggle for me is that no one around me could really help,” he continued. “I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me.
“Unfortunately, like most of us, the first time you really consider therapy is when you’re lying on the floor in the fetal position, probably wishing you had dealt with some of this stuff previously.”
The royal even made a surprise appearance at the documentary’s premiere on Monday in Chula Vista, Calif.
He laughed and took snapshots with fans at the event, as his arrival was unplanned.
“It’s nice of you to dress up for the occasion,” Harry quipped in a video posted on social media. “Suits and ties — no? I just want to say a huge thank you for coming out tonight.”
