Prince Harry sat down for an interview with an aspiring presenter who gave an insight into what the Duke of Sussex is really like

An aspiring presenter who recently interviewed Prince Harry has revealed what he was really like in person. Dylan Bleach, a WellChild award winner, was given the opportunity to sit down with the Duke of Sussex in an exclusive interview during his visit to the UK.

After touching down in the country, Harry attended the WellChild Awards, a charity event celebrating the courage of seriously ill children and their carers. Speaking to Good Morning Britain presenters Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, Dylan explained what it was like to interview the Duke, branding him a normal human being like everybody else. Balls referenced Harry’s behaviour when Dylan asked him a specific question, saying: “There was a moment there when you had a question for Harry and he was totally engaged in the conversation.”

Heaping praise on Harry, Dylan responded: “It felt so natural. He’s very much a human being like me and you are. Once I’d asked him the three questions about WellChild, he was talking about the unpredictability of the WellChild children, how he’d had a swordfight that evening and all of these fantastic and funny stories.”

Dylan revealed that he is expecting a son in a few weeks time and took the opportunity to ask Harry if he had any advice on parenthood, which he did.

The presenters congratulated Dylan on getting the “scoop” which Reid believed will be published by several outlets.

She said: “What you managed to get was a real insight into Prince Harry as a dad because he said parenting starts before the baby is born, talk to your child, and that’s part of nurturing them and encouraging them. That will be picked up everywhere.”

Reid mentioned that Monday would have been a difficult day for Prince Harry as it was the anniversary of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, who died on that day in 2022.

She added that despite Harry not being able to bring his own children to the UK due to the intense scrutiny he faces, he spoke about parenting with such “love and affection” and the children at WellChild to Dylan.

He responded: “I think WellChild brings the child out in him and it reminds him of his children in a sense. I think he enjoys the night to be normal and forget about the problems that are going on.

“He mentioned in his speech that sometimes the darkness of the world can swallow you up, but the brightness in the room last night is what keeps some people going.”

Harry has been at loggerheads with his family for some time and the feud was only exacerbated following the release of his bombshell memoir Spare in 2023.

But hopes for a possible royal reconciliation were sparked earlier in the summer, after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s aides were spotted having a meeting in London with those of King Charles. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case as Harry had no reported interaction with his family members, despite being just miles apart.
