Meghan Markle shares photo of Prince Harry with Baby Archie on the Prince's 35th Birthday

Prince Harry's birthday was on Sunday, September 15 and this was also his first birthday as a father.

The last time we saw baby Archie was in the official photos from his christening day on July 6. He was later photographed once during an outing with the family. Baby Sussex' parents have chosen to keep him away from the public eye, and hence, the world has seen very little of him.



 

So for those who've been hoping to see more of baby Archie's photos, the Sussexes joint Instagram account just gave us another look at the child from his christening day! Meghan Markle shared the image along with eight others on her husband Prince Harry's 35th birthday. The couple celebrated his birthday on Sunday, September 15, which was also his first as a father.

"Wishing a very happy birthday to His Royal Highness Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex!

A birthday message from The Duchess of Sussex:

“Your service to the causes you care so deeply for inspires me every day. You are the best husband and most amazing dad to our son. We love you ❤️Happiest birthday!” said the message on their joint Instagram account.

The message was accompanied by nine photos, including a new one showing Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in the ceremonial clothing for his christening. He was sitting on his mother, Meghan Markle's, lap while Prince Harry bends his knees to face his sweet little son.

His father and uncle, Prince William, participated in the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day in Berkshire in July. His aunt Kate Middleton, cousins, and mother was also present for at the sporting event, where the family was photographed in an informal setting for the first time since Archie's birth.

Baby Archie looked like a replica of his father from his christening. He too had worn the traditional christening gown for the formal occasion. While the original gown has been retired since then, baby Archie wore an exact copy of it.
