Figueras and his wife, Delfina Blaquier, traveled to Windsor last week to meet little Archie, and says that the prince is happier than ever.
“The Duke is the kind of father I always imagined he would be,” Figueras tells PEOPLE. “He has always had a great love for children and a great understanding of them. I noticed that becoming a father has influenced him and his dedication and love for the project is now stronger than ever.”

“The Duke is very happy with this stage of his life and I believe he is going to enjoy it very much,” he adds.
And while Harry has admitted he’s getting used to those 4 a.m. wake-ups with Archie, Figueras says he’s well-rested for the match on Friday.
“He seems to be very happy. I think this is a very exciting part of his life. He was ready for it and he is loving it.”

As for how Harry is handling his first night away from his new son, Figueras says he’s still “very present.”
“When duty calls. He is just 24 hours away from home, and I am sure he is doing just fine. He is a wonderful father and very present and he is here for an amazing cause.”
