Prince Harry found visiting Disneyland with his children “[brought] out the kid in” him.
The Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, celebrated Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday earlier this year at the California theme park.
And the 41-year-old royal got a lot of pleasure from seeing the youngster and her brother, Prince Archie, so excited from the minute they arrived.
He said: “They’re like, ‘This is amazing!’ 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.”

The royal appeared on the show, The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland, over the weekend and shared a photo of the family yelling in joy while riding Space Mountain, the prince’s favourite ride since childhood.
He said: “I went round and round and round — 10, maybe 12 times.”
The couple also reminisced about their childhood memories of the Disney theme parks. Harry made a trip to Disney World in 1993 when he was eight years old with his late mother, Princess Diana, and older brother, Prince William.
He said: “I went with my mum and my brother. I remember it very, very well.
“I remember losing it as a kid with all the characters. Like, losing it.”
As a “southern California girl”, former actress Meghan noted visiting Disneyland was “more accessible” for her but still “the biggest treat in the world”.
The 44-year-old Duchess had particular fond memories of going to the theme park for graduation night, when the attraction is opened up after hours for high school seniors.
She said: “I don’t even know why they let us do that!”
Harry added: “That sounds like a lot of fun. Can you do that in your forties?”
The TV special – which marked Disneyland’s 70 years of operation – also included interviews with the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Neil Patrick Harris and Tiffany Haddish.
