Listen, here's the scoop: Prince Harry has made it crystal clear that his baby boy, Archie, is his entire world. But despite being head over heels for his little one, Harry has already resumed his royal duties and hasn't taken paternity leave. Now, you might be wondering, is this really that unusual in the royal family? Let's break it down.
Why Prince Harry's Decision to Skip Paternity Leave Isn't a Shock
While Meghan Markle is reportedly taking a well-deserved three to five months of maternity leave, her husband, the 34-year-old Duke of Sussex, is back in the game. Recently, he was spotted in the Netherlands promoting the Invictus Games, proving that royal life doesn't take a break. But here's the deal: there's a perfectly good reason why Harry isn't stepping away from his responsibilities right now.
In the United Kingdom, new dads are entitled to up to two weeks of paternity leave. However, royal fathers like Harry don’t typically have the kind of jobs that follow a traditional 9-to-5 schedule, so they often skip the full two weeks and jump right back into their duties. Harry isn't the first to do this—his brother, Prince William, didn't take a full break after the arrival of any of his three children. But here's an interesting twist: when William worked as a search and rescue pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, he did take some time off after Prince George’s birth. Still, he quickly returned to his royal commitments.

What About Meghan Markle?
While Harry is out and about, Meghan, 37, is still focusing on her recovery. According to an insider, doctors have advised her to take it easy for a couple of weeks before diving back into yoga. "Meghan hasn't had much downtime since Archie was born," the source exclusively told Closer Weekly. "But to unwind, she's been meditating with her mom, Doria Ragland." It sounds like Meghan is finding her own ways to recharge while still prioritizing her health.
