Prince Harry has come under fire for comments he made about his son, Archie, at the Invictus Games last week.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, revealed that he had shown Archie footage of his late mother, Princess Diana, during her famous 1997 minefield walk. However, his remarks have sparked criticism from some royal commentators and online trolls.

Prince Harry showed son Archie footage of Princess Diana’s minefield walk

During the Invictus Games, Harry shared that he had shown Archie the footage of Diana walking through a minefield in Angola in 1997.

While speaking with the Canadian TV channel CTV, he explained that the opportunity arose during a conversation about landmines.

“Archie was asking about landmines so I was talking about how some of these guys were blown up,” he said.

“I think IEDs [Improvised explosive devices] are probably a little much at this point, but I found myself talking to him about mines—he’s five years old,” he continued.

“Interestingly, it gave me a chance to talk about my mum, his grandma, which I didn’t even really consider, so that became the outcome of the story for him.”

Prince Harry criticised over Princess Diana comments

Harry went on to say: “He wanted to see videos and photographs of his grandma Diana out doing her thing for landmines all those years ago. It produced a very interesting conversation between me and him, different to what I thought it would be.”

However, some royal fans were quick to criticise him, claiming the story wasn’t true.

“I refused to believe that Archie asked about landmines,” one person tweeted.
