"Becoming a father of two incredibly kind and funny kids has given me a fresh perspective on life, as well as sharpening my focus in all my work," he explained on the evening of his birthday.
"Being a dad is one of life’s greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place."
Prince Harry and Meghan tend to keep their family life as private as possible, but at a recent event, the royal spoke about his kids and the one trait they've inherited from their mum.
“Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marveled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers,” Hello! chief content officer Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon wrote.
“He was enjoying being 40 and had been told by friends that it was the best decade, so he had high hopes for it.
"His wonderful wife Meghan was holding the fort, he said, her hands full with not only their two children but also their three dogs, which he joked were not quite house-trained. Not to mention the chickens!”
Harry has previously spoken about his kids and how they have both inherited red hair from the Spencer side of the family.
“The Spencer gene is very, very strong,” he said on The Late Show.
“I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that, should this go the distance and we have kids, that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes, but I was wrong!”
During the interview, he also spoke about how he had watched The Crown, which he admitted to 'fact checking'.
"They don't pretend to be news. It's fictional, but it's loosely based on the truth," he said.
"Of course it's not strictly accurate … but it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle—the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else—what can come from that.
"I'm way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself. Because it's the difference between fiction, take it how you will, but this is being reported on as fact because you're supposedly news. I have a real issue with that."
