From royal baby to California kid, Prince Archie’s journey has surprised and charmed fans — and his parents reveal small, tender choices that shape his days. Read on to discover the full story!
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born May 6, 2019 in the U.K.; the couple announced he weighed 7lbs. 3oz. Harry and Meghan did not pose outside the hospital but later shared photos with family, including Meghan’s mother Doria and the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. His first name, inspired by the Greek idea of "arche," influenced the charity name Archewell; Harrison became his middle name after a close call choosing the baby’s moniker.
The family stepped back from senior royal roles less than a year after Archie's birth and moved to California, settling in Montecito where Meghan and Harry say family life is a priority. Their daughter, Lilibet Diana, was born in June 2021.
