Meghan Markle Shares New Photo of Prince Archie for His 7th Birthday
Meghan Markle just shared a new photo of her and Prince Harry's son, Prince Archie, on his 7th birthday.
On Wednesday, May 6, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, took to Instagram with two pictures and short but sweet message on Archie's big day.
"7 years later…happy birthday to our sweet boy 🤍," the doting mom captioned her update.
For the featured image, Prince Harry, 41, held newborn Archie on his chest as the baby boy snuggled cozily under a white blanket. The second snap showed the birthday boy today in a wide shot from behind, while holding a big stick and standing next to his sister, Princess Lilibet, 4. The siblings looked out at the mountains as they walked barefoot near a body of water.

An X user shared, "I love this photo so much! Prince Archie is such a big brother! Happy Birthday Prince Archie of Sussex."
As Archie celebrated his 7th birthday, a source close to his parents spoke to People about Prince Harry and Markle's parenting philosophy.
"They give their kids space to be themselves - for their different personalities to flourish," the source explained. "After growing up so publicly, that was really important to Harry."
