Prince Archie has dad Prince Harry’s identical cheeky smile in rare photo

Prince Archie, the eldest child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is gradually becoming his father’s twin!

Along with having striking red hair, the father-son pair also seem to have similar facial expressions. One such expression is a cheeky smile that was expertly captured in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s eye-opening Harry & Meghan Netflix docuseries.

Even though Harry and Meghan usually keep a lot of their personal lives private, they used this chance to pack their six-part documentary series full of never-before-seen family photos and video snippets, such as shots of Archie playing football and cooking at home with his mother Meghan.

The couple also shared a priceless photo of Prince Harry spending time with young Archie, who looked happy and had a big, cheeky smile that reminded him of his father’s endearing wide smile. Too cute!

Harry and Meghan also incorporated a touching video of Archie showcasing his musical abilities at home elsewhere in the documentary. A wild-haired Archie was seen in the video singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and playing a tiny toy piano.

“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,” Harry revealed to comedian James Corden in 2021, giving an insight into Archie’s personality. The three-syllable word “crocodile” was his first word.”

Archie was born on May 6, 2019, at Portland Hospital in London, and he was raised for the first six months of his life at Frogmore Cottage, the former Windsor residence of the Sussexes.

He went with his parents on their royal tour of South Africa when he was just five months old, but that was the only formal public appearance he made while Harry and Meghan were still working royals.

The Sussexes moved across the pond and are now residents of Montecito in Santa Barbara. On June 4, 2021, Harry and Meghan welcomed their daughter Lilibet.

Lili was given the name Lili in honor of her great-grandmother, Her Late Majesty The Queen, also known as Lilibet in the family. In remembrance of her cherished late grandmother, The Princess of Wales, she chose Diana as her middle name.

Archie was not entitled to use the title “Prince” or be styled as His Royal Highness; this was not until the late Queen Elizabeth II passed away and King Charles III took the throne in September 2022. Lilibet Diana, who was made a princess in September 2022, was also given this.
