During the first three episodes of his and Meghan's Netflix docuseries, the Duke touched upon the effect of his parents' divorce, saying: "What's most important to the two of us is to make sure that we don't repeat the same mistakes that perhaps our parents made."

And in his interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2020, Harry admitted his relationship with Charles was strained, saying there is "a lot to work through".

Looking back to happier times, one of the last images Harry shared of his father on the Sussexes' now-inactive Instagram account was a touching photograph of Charles at Archie's christening in July 2019.

The photo wasn't actually shared publicly until November that year to mark Charles' 71st birthday.

The caption at the time read: "Happy birthday to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales - Sir, Pa, Grandpa!"

Since that time, Harry and Meghan have welcomed daughter Lilibet, who was born in June 2021.

The Sussexes now reside in Montecito after stepping back from royal duties in March 2020.

The final three episodes of their Netflix docuseries will be released on Thursday 15 December.
