Prince Harry reveals baby Archie’s first word and calls son ‘hysterical’

Prince Harry has revealed baby Archie’s first word and why he decided to step back from the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex was interviewed by pal James Corden in Los Angeles.

It came ahead of his sit down interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7.

He and Corden – who was invited to Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018, have been friends for years.

Asked how he was finding fatherhood, Harry responded: “My son is now just over a year and a half, he is hysterical. He’s got the most amazing personality, he’s already putting three, four words together. He’s already singing songs.”

The first of those words was “crocodile”, with Corden visibly impressed.

Harry added: “My grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas and Meg said a waffle maker.

“She sent us a waffle maker for Archie. So breakfast now, Meg makes up a beautiful organic mix in the waffle maker.”

Discussing his departure from the royals, Harry said: “I was like, ‘This is toxic’, so I did what any husband and any father would do, I want to get my family out of here.

“We never walked away and as far as I’m concerned whatever decisions are made on that side, I will never walk away.

“I will always be contributing, but my life is public service, so wherever I am in the world, it’s going to be the same thing.”

Corden served him afternoon tea while pointing out celebrity homes, including what he claimed were those of Friends star David Schwimmer and Die Hard actor Bruce Willis.

During a visit to the house that featured on 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, Harry rapped the famous theme song, which was originally performed by Will Smith.

Corden tried to convince him to buy the sprawling mansion before Harry went inside to use the bathroom.

They then video called Meghan, who in response to Corden’s suggestion they buy the house, quipped “I think we’ve done enough moving”.

She then asked “Haz” how his tour of Los Angeles was doing. He called Corden “the worst tour guide in LA”.

The royal couple are set to discuss Megxit in more detail when CBS broadcast their interview with Oprah on March 7.

The chat has reportedly already been re-edited after Harry and Meghan were stripped of their remaining royal patronages.

A source told the Daily Mirror: “When the Duke and Duchess spoke, it was never envisaged they would have their patronages taken away.

“They didn’t see it coming and spoke as they still had roles to play.”

Rumours have long suggested that Oprah would be the first TV personality to interview the departed royal.

She and Meghan are good friends, and the US TV host is thought to have helped her and Harry find a place to stay when they arrived in Los Angeles.
