HARRY & ARCHIE'S Mar 96 SECRET BOYS TRIP!

Over the years, Prince Harry has painted his father, King Charles, as an emotionally distant parent who lacked the playful, affectionate side that his two sons longed for growing up.

And Harry's been clear that he won't repeat that behaviour with his own boy, making a conscious effort to forge a strong and special bond with his young son Archie.

The recent snaps of Harry, 40, and Archie, five, heading out on a surf trip and playing with the family's dogs are just some examples of how Harry is building the cherished father-son relationship that he feels he never had with his own father.
