- Prince Harry dodged a question about missing his brother and father in a "Today" interview.
- When asked by Hoda Kotb if he misses them, he turned his focus on the Invictus Games.
- "For me, in the moment, I'm here, focused on these guys and these families," he told Kotb.
Prince Harry dodged a question about missing his brother, Prince William, and his father, Prince Charles, in an interview with Hoda Kotb for the "Today" show that aired Tuesday.
During the interview, Kotb asked Prince Harry whether he missed his brother and father after choosing to step back from official duties in the Royal Family and move to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, two years ago.
But instead of answering, Prince Harry dodged the question, pointing his answer to the importance of being present for the Invictus Games — a sporting event he started that allows sick and wounded service members to compete in games.
"Your family at home, do you miss them?" Kotb asked Prince Harry during the interview.
"Yes, especially over the last two years — for most people, have they not missed their families?" he responded, seemingly referring to the fact that many people worldwide have not seen family members over the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"But, do you miss your brother, your dad?" Kotb asked.
"For me, in the moment, I'm here, focused on these guys and these families and giving everything that I can — 120% — to them to make sure they have the experience of a lifetime," Prince Harry said of the Invictus Games.
"That's my focus here," he added. "Then, I go back, and my focus is my family, who I miss massively," Prince Harry said of his immediate family.
In the interview, Prince Harry mentioned he had been back to London twice since he and Markle chose to distance themselves from the Royal Family duties — once for his grandfather, Prince Phillip's, funeral and once for the reveal of a statue featuring him, his mother, and his brother. He also visited Queen Elizabeth in secret earlier this month.
