While appearing on an episode of the "
Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know" podcast,
Prince Harry revealed that while Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are vaguely aware of their parents' charity work, they don't fully understand why he and Meghan Markle are so committed to philanthropy. "They know that we help other people, but they don't know the background," he said.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are far more interested in the people with whom
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are collaborating than their actual work, the Duke of Sussex revealed. "All they're interested in is saying hi to the people on the call. Or they're fascinated to see other people," the father of two said. "They love seeing familiar faces. They will run in and kind of, occasionally, there's the moment with the hand on the forehead, saying, 'Not now.' But then they just jump on the lap and say, 'Hi, guys!'"

When
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received a prestigious humanitarian award earlier in October, they used their time in the spotlight to highlight their work to make the world a better place for children, especially related to the dangers posed by the internet. "Our children, [Prince] Archie
and [Princess] Lilibet, are just 6 and 4 years old — luckily still too young for social media, but we know that day is coming," the Duchess of Sussex said. "Like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technology's benefits while safeguarding against its dangers. And that hopeful intention of separation is rapidly becoming impossible."

Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry stirred up
controversy when they were honored with the Humanitarians of the Year Award at the Project Healthy Minds Gala in early October. "They can't even make peace with their own families," royal expert
Phil Dampier griped, adding, "I regard a humanitarian as somebody who tries to make peace with people."
