Prince Harry has shared fond memories of visiting Disneyland with Princess Diana and Prince William in the 1990s, describing the experience as unforgettable.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, opened up during ABC’s Sunday night special The Happiest Story On Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland, which featured both Harry and Meghan Markle reflecting on their personal connections to the theme park.

Harry recalled his 1993 trip to Florida, when he was just eight years old. “I went with my mum and my brother. I remember it very, very well,” he said. “I remember losing it as a kid with all the characters. Like, losing it.”

Body language expert Judi James noted that Harry appeared to grow emotional when mentioning Diana and William, telling the Express his expression turned “sadder” as he reflected on them.

Meghan’s Memories of Disneyland

Meghan also joined the conversation, recalling how the park was “more accessible” to her growing up in Southern California, yet still felt like “the biggest treat in the world.” She remembered attending Disneyland on her high school grad night, joking: “I don’t even know why they let us do that.” Laughing, Harry quipped: “That sounds like a lot of fun. Can you do that in your forties?”

A Magical Birthday for Lilibet

The couple also revealed that they returned to Disneyland earlier this year to celebrate Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday. Harry described the joy of watching Archie, six, and Lilibet take in the park’s magic: “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 special included a glimpse of photos from their trip, including Archie and Lilibet leaning over a table filled with birthday treats. Royal fans were quick to notice Lilibet’s long, strawberry-blonde hair, with one admirer writing online: “Lilibet’s hair is so thick and long. Plus a beautiful auburn colour!”

Back in June, Meghan shared a video montage from the two-day celebration in Florida, showing the family enjoying rides such as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and the carousel, as well as indulging in corn dogs and unveiling a Little Mermaid–themed birthday cake. “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” she captioned the post.
