JJ Chalmers appeared on UK's "The One Show" Friday and said Harry's #1 priority is his wife and kid.
It's interesting ... JJ thinks part of Harry's thinking was so little Archie would know when he gets older his pops did right by him.
And, then there's this ... watch the video as JJ talks about Harry's need to be proactive before something goes terribly wrong ... there's no doubt he's talking about the death of Princess Diana, which has haunted Harry to this day.
