Prince Harry said his son Archie interrupts his and Meghan Markle's calls when they work from home.
He said it's really hard to work from home because it's difficult to separate work from your kids.

Prince Harry said his son, Archie, has the same "cheekiness" he does, and that the 2-year-old interrupts his and wife Meghan Markle's Zoom calls when they work from home.
In addition to Archie, Harry and Markle share a daughter, Lillibet, named for his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
But even though he pays such close attention to his kids, he added that working from home is not "all it's cracked up to be."
"It's really hard when your kids and you are in the same place. It's really hard to separate the work from them," Harry told Kotb.

"They kind of overlap," he added. "Archie spends more time interrupting our Zoom calls than anybody else."
"But he also gets us off them as well, so that's a nice thing," he joked.
Kotb then asked Prince Harry if Archie shares his personality and whether his son has a little bit of his "cheeky thing."
"I think so," he told Kotb. "I think the cheekiness is something that keeps you alive. There's so much to be happy about in the outside world, but there's also so much to worry about."
Last year, Harry revealed that he would video chat the Queen and his grandfather Prince Philip, who died in April 2021.
"He just goes 'doof'!" Harry said, mimicking shutting a laptop.
Speculation about Harry's relationship with his family has been rife since he stepped down as a senior royal member, moved to California, and sat down for a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
"Being with her, it was great, it was just so nice to see her," Harry told Kotb. "She's on great form. She's always got a great sense of humor with me, and I'm just making sure that she's, you know, protected, and got the right people around her."

"We have a really special relationship," he added. "We talk about things she can't talk about with anyone else."
