Prince Harry revealed a milestone moment with his son Archie, explaining his sadness at brother William and King Charles missed.
In his bombshell memoir Spare, Harry opened up about his move to USA after with Meghan Markle and son, Archie. The family initially lived at actor and filmaker Tyler Perry's Californian home, before going on to move into their Montecito megamansion.
During their stay at Perry's home in 2020, Harry wrote how Archie made a huge developmental milestone, saying: "Within a week Tyler's house felt like home. Archie took his first steps in the garden a couple of months later, at the height of the global pandemic lockdown. We clapped, hugged him, cheered. I thought, for a moment, how nice it would be to share the news with Grandpa or Uncle Willy."
Harry went on to reveal more details of his decision to step down as a senior royal, describing the rift it caused as William allegedly screamed and shouted. In an episode of the Sussexes Netflix documentary, Harry and Megan, he explains: "It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things that simply weren't true...and my grandmother sit there and quietly take it all in."
