The Duke of Sussex, who turned 35 yesterday, was asked "how everything was going with Archie" by a schoolgirl.
Harry was attending a rugby event at Lealands High School in Luton last Thursday when the schoolgirl showed an interest in Archie.
The proud dad can be heard saying: "He's doing really well, thanks, he's getting so big".
Footage of the conversation was shared by Sussex fan account on Instagram and fans were over the moon at the response.

One wrote: "Great question from that young lady" while another called it "adorable".
"Awww, so good to hear that. Can't wait to see him," said another follower.
The Duke of Sussex beamed as he met with young people during the royal visit encouraging kids to get active.
And one lucky student Esther Akiora, 11, managed to get a high five from the royal while fellow 11-year-old student Zara-Jess Gudza got a hug as he arrived at the school to visit the Rugby Football Union (RFU) All Schools programme.
The Lealands High School student said: "It was just the inspiration, he is so big in this world and he came to this school.
"It felt crazy to meet someone who is part of the royal family and felt kind of inspirational.";
