Prince Harry spoke out this week to say that he is determined to parent his own children differently than his father Prince Charles did.

“Isn’t life about breaking the cycle?” Harry, 36, said while appearing on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast on Thursday. “There’s no blame. I don’t think anyone should be pointing the finger and blaming anyone. Certainly, when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain and suffering because of the pain and suffering that perhaps my father or parents suffered. I’m gonna make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on.”

He added that “a lot of genetic pain and suffering gets passed on anyway. As parents, we should try and make sure we’re doing the most we can. Like, ‘That happened to me. I’m gonna make sure that doesn’t happen to you.’”

Harry went on to say that while this has been “hard” for him, he credits his own “awareness” of his father’s life with helping him raise his son Archie better than he was raised.

“Suddenly, I started to piece it all together,” he continued. “OK, so this is where he went to school. I know this about his life. I also know that it’s connected to his parents, so that means that he’s treating me the way that he was treated, which means how can we change that for my kids? Here I am. I now moved my whole family to the U.S. That wasn’t the plan. But sometimes you’ve got to make decisions and put your family first and mental health first.”

This comes after an insider said that Charles “may never forgive” Harry for his explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in March.

“[That] hasn’t gone down well with Elizabeth,” the insider told US Weekly. “She feels that he’s putting his pride before the best interest of the monarchy. She has enough on her plate dealing with the loss of her husband, [Prince Philip]. It’s drama she can do without.”

On Thursday’s podcast, Harry told listeners to “learn from” the “bad stuff that happens” to them in life, adding, “The universe is basically saying to you, ‘I’m gonna school you.’ What can you take from each of those moments?”
