A Royal Birth Announcement
On May 6, 2019, the world was thrilled to hear the news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had welcomed their first child. The announcement was made via Instagram, with a sweet black and white photo of the proud parents holding their newborn son. Little did we know, this was just the beginning of our love affair with the little prince.
The First Glimpse of Baby Archie
Just two days after his birth, the new parents introduced their son to the world in a photo call at St. George's Hall in Windsor Castle. Wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a knitted hat, the tiny prince looked peaceful and content in his mother's arms. Prince Harry couldn't help but gush about his son, saying, "He's just been a dream, so it's been a great experience."
Archie's Christening: A Private Affair
Unlike his cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Archie's christening was a private affair, held at the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle. The intimate ceremony was attended by close family and friends, and the only photo released was a candid black and white shot of Archie with his parents and siblings.
A Royal Tour Down Under
In 2018, before Archie's birth, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on a royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand. Little did they know, they were preparing for their future travels with their little one. During the tour, Meghan revealed that she was pregnant, and the world buzzed with excitement for the royal baby-to-be.
Archie's Milestones: A Timeline
First Birthday
On May 6, 2020, Archie turned one! To celebrate, the Sussexes released a beautiful photo of Archie sitting on his mother's lap, with a birthday cake in front of them. The photo was taken by his father, Prince Harry, and it was a touching reminder of the love and joy that Archie brings to his family.
First Steps
In September 2020, Meghan Markle revealed that Archie had taken his first steps. Speaking at a virtual event for her charity, Smart Works, Meghan said, "My husband also has a scheduling conflict with his job, which at times can be intense. It's hard on our marriage, it's hard on our son since he's now 14 months old...You know, our son is starting to use, 'Mama' 'Papa.' He's saying 'Dada' 'Mama' which means he's getting really confused, let's not even go there," she laughed.
First Words
In December 2020, during a virtual call with a family who had lost their home in a California wildfire, Meghan revealed that Archie was saying "hello" and "goodbye." She said, "My husband and I are doing our best to help you and your family navigate this time. We have been deeply affected by the destruction and disruption in your life. It's nice to know you're at home and safe."
Archie's Impact on the Royal Family
Archie's birth marked a significant moment for the royal family. He is the first mixed-race child in modern royal history, and his parents have been open about their desire to raise him with a strong sense of his heritage. Meghan Markle has spoken about the importance of Archie knowing about his African American heritage, saying, "I'd come home and say, 'Kiddos, what do you feel like doing? Let's go get some ice cream,' and they'd say, 'Yay, ice cream!' And then I'd say, 'But we're out of milk,' and they'd say, 'Mom, we have a baby now! We can't have any milk!'"
The Sussexes' Step Back from Royal Duties
In January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family. The couple cited their desire to carve out a more independent life for their family, and Archie's upbringing has been a significant factor in their decision. They have since moved to the United States with their son and are focusing on their charity work and media projects.
