Born May 6, 2019 Time 5.26am Weight 7lb 3oz (3.26kg) Just two days old and contentedly asleep in his father’s arms, little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor has no idea of the momentous occasion his birth has marked around the world. He was formally introduced at St George’s Hall in Windsor Castle, the eighth great-grandchild to Her Majesty the Queen and seventh in line to the throne, but to his elated new parents Archie is simply their little bundle of joy. The magic smiles on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex say it all – they are as proud as punch and loving every second of this very special time. And as royal fans celebrated his birth last week, it is clear Archie already holds a special place in the hearts of…
With a smile that spoke volumes as he cradled his newborn son, an ecstatic yet relaxed Prince Harry showed off the beautiful baby the world has been waiting to meet after weeks of secrecy and mystery surrounding his arrival. The proud first-time father grinned and joked as he introduced little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, who remained blissfully asleep throughout the momentous occasion, wrapped in a blanket and held close to Harry’s chest. “It’s only been two-and-a-half days, three days, but we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy and to be able to spend some precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up,” Harry, 34, beamed at the official photo call inside St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle. “It’s great. Parenting is amazing,”…
Forget traditional regal names like Arthur, Albert or James, Harry and Meghan went for a modern, popular and non-royal moniker for their first-born! The proud parents announced Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor’s name on Instagram, with the palace confirming he would go by the title of master instead of prince. The shortened version of Archibald, Archie means “strong and bold”. It also has some Hollywood connections, being Cary Grant’s birth name and the name of Riverdale’s comic hero, Archie Andrews! As for Harrison, that’s a sweet nod to his dad, as it means “son of Harry”. Mountbatten-Windsor is given to all descendants of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.…
With news of baby Archie’s birth spreading around the world, the royal family have been quick to share their joy with wellwishers. On the second day of their tour of Germany, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla received a giant teddy bear for their new grandchild. A proud Duchess of Cornwall beamed as she was shown a photo of adorable Archie by a fan. “Thank you for showing it to me, now take it to the boss,” she quipped, referring to her husband. The prince told wellwishers, “We couldn’t be more delighted at the news, and we’re looking forward to meeting the baby when we return.” Meanwhile, back in the UK, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge said they were “absolutely thrilled” at their nephew’s birth. “I’m very glad…
Rather than healing an explosive family rift, it seems Archie’s birth has only intensified the feud between the Duchess of Sussex and her estranged father, sister and brother. Insiders tell Woman’s Day that Meghan is determined never to speak to her father Thomas Markle, brother Tom Jr and sister Samantha again – but that hasn’t stopped them trying to reach her. Samantha, 54, who has spoken scathingly about Meghan and is penning a book about her, said after Archie’s birth, “It would be nice not to react to what we’ve heard in the news but to personally meet him and let him judge us for himself.” On the day of his grandson’s birth, Meghan’s dad Thomas said, “I wish him health and happiness, and my congratulations to my lovely daughter…
They grew up worlds apart – one in England, the other in the US. But right from the start it seemed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were destined to find each other. While Meghan, a self-described California girl, enjoyed a more relaxed childhood than her future husband – who was born third in line to the British throne – the pair have both endured difficult experiences. Meghan, born to a Caucasian father and African-American mother, has spoken candidly of the discrimination she faced and how her parents “crafted the world around me to make me feel like I wasn’t different but special”. Harry, meanwhile, lost his mother, Princess Diana, when he was just 12. “I hope that a lot of my mother’s talents are shown in the work that I…
