"I feel a huge responsibility not to pass on any trauma or negative experiences that I've had as a kid or as a man growing up," Prince Harry said, adding, "There are times when I catch myself when I should be smothering them with that love but I might not be."
Prince Harry said that together with Meghan Markle they were trying to learn "from our own past and overlapping those mistakes, perhaps, and growing to break that cycle".
