Both royal members acknowledged the press and their hectic schedules in the parenting world. Prince William said, “I know how long you've all been sat out here. Hopefully the hospital and you guys can go back to normal and we can look after him.” While Prince Harry is said to have only slept a few hours before his speech and thanked not only reporters and photographers in attendance, but also the horses which were in the stables behind him.
