Prince Harry turns kids' morning blues into a lesson about gratitude
Prince Harry said he turned his children's bad morning into a lesson about seriously ill children he would meet.
At breakfast before the WellChild Awards in London, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, had Monday morning blues. Harry decided to tell them what he would do that evening.
Harry described the seriously ill children and families he would meet. The children became genuinely fascinated and asked questions.
Harry noted that being a parent had changed his view of the annual awards. He has attended 15 times since becoming patron in 2007.
He said meeting the families reminded him how grateful he was for his children's health. The family moved from California to the UK in August, and the children recently changed schools after concerns about security and their commute.
