Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie turns 7
Prince Archie is celebrating his 7th birthday.
The eldest child of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, was born May 6, 2019, in London, near where the family lived at the time.
Harry and Meghan now live in California with Archie and their daughter Lilibet.
Meghan took to Instagram Wednesday to celebrate Archie's birthday, sharing two photos of her son.
In the first photo, a newborn Archie is sleeping on Harry's chest, while the second photo shows Archie and Lilibet wading in water together with mountains in the background.
"7 years later…happy birthday to our sweet boy 🤍," Meghan captioned the photos.
Last year, on Archie's 6th birthday, Meghan shared a photo of Archie looking out at the ocean with the sun in front of him.
Archie's birthday falls just a few weeks after Harry and Meghan returned from a four-day visit to Australia, their first trip there since 2018, when Meghan's pregnancy with Archie was announced.
The 7-year-old's birthday also falls less than one week after his grandfather King Charles III visited the United States on a four-day state visit with Queen Camilla.
Charles and Camilla visited Washington, D.C., New York and Virginia during their time in the U.S.
Charles, Harry's father, is not believed to have seen his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, in person since 2022, when they and their parents attended Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Archie's seventh birthday falls on the third anniversary of Charles' coronation, which took place on May 6, 2023. Harry attended his father's coronation, while Meghan, Archie and Lilibet did not.
