The Royal Family came together over the weekend to kick off Queen Elizabeth’s birthday celebration, however, Prince Harry looked less than thrilled about participating in the festivities.

One commentator noted that Harry, who appeared alongside Meghan Markle during Trooping of the Colour, didn’t seem to be enjoying his time at the gathering.

During an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, Russell Myers claimed fatherhood was getting the best of Harry. “Poor Harry, he wasn’t looking too happy. I think lack of sleep I imagine. Doria [Ragland] has gone now, Meghan’s mum, she has gone back to the US,” he told the host.

“They still haven’t found a nanny so poor Harry, he’s suffering from lack of sleep. But, we do know he is being quite hands on,” the royal expert added.

Rather than relying on child caretakers to raise their son, insiders previously revealed Meghan and Harry plan to be involved in Archie’s upbringing. ITV host, Lorraine noted that Harry’s exhausted appearance was a part of “what happens when you are a dad.”

Following Archie’s birth on May 6, the Duke of Sussex continued to make royal appearances while Meghan stayed at home to care for the newborn.

Although Prince Harry was reportedly tired during Queen Elizabeth’s birthday celebration, the new dad previously expressed excitement over his son’s arrival after Meghan gave birth.

“I haven’t been at many births. This is definitely my first birth. It was amazing, absolutely incredible, and as I said, I’m so incredibly proud of my wife. As every father and parent will ever say, you know, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to-die-for, so I’m just over the moon,” Harry told reporters in May.

“It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension.”

Despite Meghan’s appearance at Queen Elizabeth’s birthday celebration, the Duchess is reportedly still on maternity and isn’t expected to return to her full-time royal duties until the fall.
