Prince Harry became an uncle for the first time in 2013 when Prince George was born, and he made three promises to the future king. In his memoir, Spare, Harry said: “When I saw him [Prince George] he was crying as all babies do, but it's fantastic to have a new member of the family.” He wrote: “I hope my brother knows how expensive my babysitting charges will be.”
Harry's Role as an Uncle
Speaking about his role as an uncle, Harry said his role had three key parts: “To make sure he has a good upbringing, to keep him out of harm's way and make sure he has fun. The rest of it I leave up to the parents.”
Prince George's Milestones
Prince George turned 13 in July and the young royal is set to start at Eton in September. Meanwhile, Prince Harry has just made his way back to the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle, and his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Sussexes have reportedly secured a property which they intend to live at, and they have also enrolled their children into a British school, with the start set for September.
Sussexes' Assurance Over Royal Events
According to Fox News, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to steer clear of releasing photos, making comments or generating other news that could overshadow Prince George's highly anticipated first day at Eton College, a royal expert says.
“The Sussexes have assured the king that they will not hijack or derail major royal events, notably the first day of school term for Prince George at Eton,” royal broadcaster Neil Sean told Fox News Digital. “By that, no pictures or comment from either one on that day in September.”
Family Relations
Prince Harry is not on speaking terms with his brother, Prince William. Although, he is in contact with his father, King Charles. In July, Harry, Meghan and their two children were hosted at Highgrove House by King Charles and Queen Camilla in a private meeting.
The visit marked the first time King Charles has seen his grandchildren in four years. It is understood that the king would welcome the opportunity to see them more.
