Prince Archie has officially turned seven and the birthday was lovingly acknowledged.
Meghan Markle took to Instagram on May 6 to celebrate her eldest son with Prince Harry and shared a touching tribute.
“7 years later … happy birthday to our sweet boy,” she wrote, pairing the caption with two deeply personal images that quietly told the story of Archie’s journey from infancy to childhood.
The first image captured a tender moment right from the start – a newborn prince sleeping on his father’s chest, wrapped in a soft blanket as Harry cradled him close.
The second picture shows the present.
Archie, now seven, stood with his younger sister Princess Lilibet, the two children staring out at a sweeping mountain.
Although their faces remained turned away, the moment spoke volumes about the bond of siblings and how much time has passed.
As Archie marks another birthday, a close source says PEOPLE that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are deeply conscious of how they raise their children and prioritize individuality and privacy.
“They give their kids room to be themselves so their different personalities can really flourish,” the source shared.
“Having grown up so much in the public eye, it is something that is particularly important to the Duke.”
