The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, recently shared a heartwarming collage to honor Prince Harry’s 35th birthday. Among the collection of cherished memories, she included a never-before-seen image of their son, baby Archie, taken during his christening.
In her touching message posted on the Sussex Royal account, Meghan expressed her admiration for Harry, saying, “Your dedication to the causes you hold dear inspires me every day. You are an incredible husband and the most wonderful father to our son. We love you. Happy birthday!” The collage featured nostalgic photos of Harry throughout his life, including moments with his late mother, Princess Diana, and a snapshot from his wedding day with Meghan. However, it was the intimate image of baby Archie that captured everyone’s hearts. Photographed by royal photographer Chris Allerton, the picture beautifully depicts the couple gazing lovingly at their son.
The Christening of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor
The christening of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor took place in July at Windsor Castle, officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. In addition to the new photo, the couple had previously shared several images from the christening ceremony, highlighting their close-knit family.
Archie wore a gown originally made for Queen Victoria in 1841, which has since been worn by numerous royal children, including Queen Elizabeth and her grandchildren. A replica was created in 2004 and has adorned Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis as well.
Celebrating Father’s Day
Meghan also celebrated Father’s Day by posting another delightful photo of Archie, proclaiming, “Happy Father’s Day! Sending special wishes for The Duke of Sussex’s first Father’s Day.”
The post came just a week before the family’s trip to Africa, marking Archie’s first adventure to the continent cherished by Harry and now by Meghan. Harry’s itinerary includes visits to Angola, Malawi, and Botswana, focusing on grassroots leadership, women’s rights, mental health, and environmental issues, as reported by CNN.
Since Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor’s birth on May 6, the world has eagerly anticipated more glimpses of this adorable family. Here’s to hoping for many more updates on Archie as he grows up (and possibly welcomes younger siblings) that we can all enjoy.
