Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, entered the world on May 6, 2019, in London. His early life began in Windsor, where he spent his first six months. By October 2019, Archie joined his parents on a memorable tour of South Africa, marking his first international trip at just five months old. In 2020, the Sussex family made a significant move to the United States, seeking a new chapter in their lives.
The young royal's life in America is marked by family bonds and cherished traditions. Archie closely mirrors his mother in appearance at a similar age, with blue eyes like hers and the golden reddish hair reminiscent of his father's. His close bond with Meghan is often highlighted, as she frequently shares personal photos of him in her Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan." Archie's fascination with "sun tea" is a delightful echo of Meghan's own childhood experiences.
"As a kid I was taking a bag of tea from the drawer in my house and putting it in a mason jar or probably an empty jar that once held spaghetti sauce and putting it in the sun and sitting there like this… waiting for it to change colour. Which, funny enough, is what Archie does now." – Meghan
The family's relocation included a temporary stay in Canada when Archie was a toddler, during which his parents took an extended break from their royal duties. Eventually settling into their Montecito home in July 2019, Harry and Meghan have been hands-on parents who delight in spending quality time with Archie. Baking sessions are a family favorite, with thumbprint cookies being one of Archie's preferred treats.
Archie's connection with his father, Prince Harry, is notably strong. The young royal thrives in an environment where both parents are actively involved in nurturing his interests and growth. Whether it's making "sun tea" or baking cookies, these family moments are deeply cherished by the Sussexes.
