Meghan Markle Shares Rare Photos of Prince Archie in Honor of His 7th Birthday

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became parents on May 6, 2019. Meghan gave birth to their son, Prince Archie, at Portland Hospital in London. The pair quickly fell in love with their baby boy and made a huge decision not long after his birth. Harry and Meghan gave up their official royal duties and eventually relocated to the United States. They currently live in California and are raising Archie and his sister Lilibet away from Harry’s family. Meghan Markle has long stood on business and famously chooses not to share photos of Prince Archie or Prince Lilibet’s faces on social media. On her son’s birthday, she gave just the tiniest glimpse into his life

“7 years later…happy birthday to our sweet boy,” Meghan Markle shared, along with a photo of Prince Harry and Prince Archie when he was an infant, and then a photo of Archie and Lilibet together.

Although Meghan Markle disabled comments, that didn’t stop fans from sharing birthday wishes for Prince Archie on their own social media accounts.

“HappyBirthday to Prince Archie Sussex. Wishing him a life filled with love, joy, protection, laughter, and endless happiness. You can see how deeply loved he is by Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and that kind of love is beautiful to witness,” someone shared on X.

“To markPrince Archie’s 7th birthday, Meghan shared a touching ‘then and now’ tribute, UK to California. The post pairs a tender early photo of Prince Harry with Archie with a recent image of Archie and Lili exploring a wide, mountain-framed beach,” another person wrote.

Happy Birthday, Prince Archie. May this be your best year yet!
