Prince Harry has been incredibly busy over the last few weeks; not only did he fly over to the UK for a number of pre-planned engagements (which included seeing his father, King Charles), he has also been to war-torn Ukraine to visit injured soldiers.
However, the Duke of Sussex is always keen to make time for his family, with the 41-year-old also managing to fit in a trip to Disneyland Florida with his wife, Meghan, and their two children, Archie, six and four-year-old Lilibet.
The family went to the theme park earlier this year for Lilibet’s birthday, with the Duchess of Sussex documented on her Instagram.
And now, Harry has reflected on his own time as Disneyland as a child, having visited the home of Mickey Mouse with his brother, William, and late mother Princess Diana when he was just eight-years-old.
Speaking on new ABC series The Happiest Story On Earth: 70 Years Of Disneyland, Harry reminisced about his sweet childhood memories as Meghan sat by his side.
“I remember it very, very well,” he said. "I remember losing it as a kid with all the characters. Like, losing it.”

The Duke added that his own children were similarly enthralled when they went to Disney for the first time.
“They're like, 'This is amazing,’ he said. “Like, guys, this isn't even the front of it. Prepare yourself. You're about to be blown away. To see the kids throw themselves into these experiences when they have no idea what they're walking into... it was amazing.
“And it brings out the kid in you again.”
Meghan described the family’s break as “two days of pure joy” when they visited the Florida theme-park in June this year.
Harry’s words come after rumours that he has enlisted son Archie for a role at the prestigious Eton school, where he also attended.
The whispers came after it was also rumoured that the Duke of Sussex was considering relocating his family from Montecito, California (where they have lived since 2020) back to the UK.
However, Harry dismissed any suggestion that Archie would be heading to Eton when he’s 13 (he is still just six, after all). In a rare statement, a spokesperson from the family told the Daily Mail: “Prince Harry has not put his son’s name down for Eton, nor does he have any plans to do so.”
