Despite revealing some family photos and video during their Netflix series in 2022, and a few photos over the years, Archie and Lilibet have largely remained out of the spotlight.
But Prince Harry spoke candidly about them while attending the WellChild Awards last week.
He says Archie and Lilibet have been "blessed" with Meghan's thick hair.

Lilibet's hair, he said, was so long she could almost "sit on hers".
Hello! magazine's Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon attended the event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel and shared her experience alongside the duke.

"I knew that the WellChild Awards were special to Prince Harry, but it wasn't until I had seen him in action that I was able to understand quite how much this special day means to the 40-year-old royal," she wrote.
"From the moment he arrived in the reception room, he had an infectious energy about him, and there were no airs and graces at all as he chatted animatedly about his own children ahead of the event.
"Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother's thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marvelled that it won't be long until Lili can sit on hers.

"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 previously spoke about Archie and Lilibet's looks, during an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in January, 2023.
He said: "The Spencer gene is very, very strong. 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".

After Prince Harry's visit to London, he flew to Africa where he attended events in support of his charity Sentebale, before moving on to Johannesburg.
Days before, he was in New York attending various high-profile events connected with his charities.
Meghan has also been out and about.
On Saturday, the duchess walked the red carpet at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala, wearing her hair in loose, natural waves, and a Carolina Herrera gown from 2021, minus its detachable train.
