Prince Harry stated that his full-time job is raising his two young children during a recent appearance on the "Joe Marler Will See You Now" podcast. The interview, released July 13, 2026, was reportedly filmed during Harry's visit to the United Kingdom.
When prompted by host Joe Marler to introduce himself, Harry, whose full name is Henry Albert Charles David, initially offered "Duke of Sussex." He then clarified his roles, stating, "Full-time dad. British Army veteran. Prince of England. Duke. But for today, I don't know. What do you want?" He ultimately settled on "Duke."
Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube's "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," noted that Harry's choice to use his title rather than his full name, Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor, highlighted his continued connection to his royal status. Schofield also commented that the podcast format, which featured hosts with a similar British sense of humor, seemed to be a better fit for Harry than previous podcast appearances.
British broadcaster Helena Chard recalled an anecdote from royal author Hugo Vickers, suggesting the late Queen Elizabeth II believed Harry had gone to California to be a "childminder." Chard acknowledged that being a full-time parent is a worthy role but mused whether Harry might also ponder his sense of purpose.
Invictus Games Promotion and Personal Details
During the podcast, Harry also clarified that he is the "founder" of the Invictus Games, not its "inventor." The interview was intended to promote the Invictus Games, which are scheduled to be held in Birmingham in 2027. The Telegraph reported this as a key objective of the podcast appearance.
Harry shared personal details, including his favorite reality TV show, "Love Island," and his awareness of the 2014 American series "I Want to Marry Harry." He also described his grooming routine as "s--t, shower, shave," noting that he trims his beard every five to six days and gets haircuts without focusing too much on his hairline. Joking about his hair color, he described it as "sunset... auburn" rather than ginger.
Trauma Recovery and Recent UK Visit
Turning to more serious topics, Harry discussed recovering from trauma, identifying going to the gym as a crucial element. "Any form of exercise is great, especially when you're depressed, when you're dealing with stuff and stressed," he said. "Like, you've got to move that s--t around the body."
The episode also featured Harry's friend, Invictus Games gold medalist JJ Chalmers. Harry expressed his gladness at Chalmers' presence, remarking, "It's been weird."
The interview was reportedly recorded during Harry's recent visit to the U.K. for various charity engagements. He arrived in the U.K. on July 6, 2026, amid speculation about potential meetings with his father. On July 10, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Harry, along with Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, had met with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as senior royals in 2020 and have since been raising their children in California.
