Prince Harry recently sat down for an interview at a location just a few miles from where he lives with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The interview, conducted by Nada Tawfik, took place not at the Duke's own residence but at what the interviewer described as "a convenient meeting point" near his family home.
The five-year-old Prince Archie and three-year-old Princess Lilibet remained at home whilst their father discussed his ongoing security concerns.
Tawfik confirmed the interview setting in her own account of the meeting. "The home wasn't his, but rather a convenient meeting point a few miles from where he lives with his wife Meghan and their two children - Archie, five, and Lilibet, three," she wrote.
