Meghan Markle has shared a new picture of Prince Archie on his sixth birthday and revealed details surrounding the young royal’s birthday party.
The Duchess of Sussex shared a sweet image of her son at the seaside, facing away from the camera, dressed in what appears to be his pyjamas.
Meghan, 43, captioned the post: “Our son. Our sun. Happy 6th birthday to Archie!
“Thank you for all of the love, prayers, and warm wishes for our sweet boy. He’s six! Where did the time go?

“(And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special).”
It comes as Prince Harry is missing Archie’s birthday as he attends an engagement in Las Vegas.
The father-of-two will be launching a new youth initiative in collaboration with The Diana Award today.
Harry, 40, will be meeting recipients of The Legacy Award, which honours Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
Prince Harry famously missed Prince Archie’s fourth birthday as he travelled to the UK for King Charles’s Coronation in 2023.
Archie, who was born on May 6, 2019, has had a more unconventional upbringing compared to his royal cousins, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
The young royal was born in Windsor but moved to the US when he was just five-months-old.
His younger sister, Princess Lilibet, was born in 2021.
Public appearances from Archie and Lilibet are rare and much of the world’s understanding of them comes from Meghan’s newly-launched Instagram.
In a recent podcast interview with Jamie Kern Lima, Meghan said: “I love being a mom,” and described motherhood as “the most important thing in my entire life.”
She also shared that she writes nightly emails to her children, creating digital scrapbooks to preserve everyday memories.
