New dad Harry has sleepless nights
THE Duke of Sussex has said he cannot imagine life without son Archie - but confessed the baby kept him up on Tuesday night.
Harry chatted about his baby during the first of a series of visits in Oxford which began with him celebrating the work of the city’s children’s hospital.
The duke, who became a father for the first time last week, was presented with a tiny teddy bear for Archie when he arrived at the hospital yesterday.
Daisy Wingrove, 13, a former patient of the hospital, presented the gift to the duke just before he began his tour of the hospital, and Harry let out a big sigh and said “Ahhh” as a nearby crowd of wellwishers made the same sound in sympathy.
Later the duke met parents whose children have been battling cancer.
The duke also told a patient how Archie had kept him up the night before the visit.
Christine George, 52, whose son James, 17, is having chemotherapy, said: “He said he had all this organised, but had a sleepless night last night - not ideal preparation for his first day at work.”
Harry and Meghan’s son was born last Monday. This was Harry’s first full day of work in the UK, following a trip to Amsterdam last week.
