Sharing a glimpse inside Archie’s personality, Harry previously told comedian James Corden in 2021: “My son is now over a year and a half, he is hysterical, he’s got the most amazing personality, he’s already putting two, three words together, he’s already singing songs. His first word was ‘crocodile’, three syllables.”
Archie was born at the Portland Hospital in London on 6 May 2019 and spent the first six months of his life at the Sussexes’ former home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
At just five months old he accompanied his parents on their royal tour of South Africa, but that would be the only official public engagement he would make while Harry and Meghan were still working royals.
Since moving across the pond, the Sussexes have settled in Montecito in Santa Barbara, with Harry and Meghan welcoming their daughter Lilibet on 4 June 2021.
Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Late Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname was Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.
