Sweet Photos Of Meghan Markle And Son Archie
Meghan Markle adores her firstborn son, Prince Archie, whom she shares with husband, Prince Harry, and it's obvious in their photos. Over the years, the Duchess of Sussex has only shared a handful of rare pictures with Archie, born in May 2019, but it's enough to show that they have the sweetest mother-son bond.
Meghan and Harry's son was born into the royal family, and therefore, he has a few official photos with his mom and dad. In fact, Archie's first official portrait was taken when he was just 2 days old. At the time, Meghan spoke with reporters about new motherhood, beaming with joy. "It's magic," she said (per E! News). "It's pretty amazing and, I mean, I have the two best guys in the world, so I'm really happy."
When Archie was just 9 months old, he moved to California with his parents when they stepped down from being working royals. They lived there for about six years, and welcomed Archie's sister, Princess Lilibet in 2021, before the family moved back to the UK in August 2026. Although she is fiercely protective of her children, Meghan has occasionally shared heartwarming pictures with them that shield their faces. We've seen sweet photos of Meghan and Lilibet that highlight their relationship, and now we've gathered some of the most adorable pictures of Meghan and Archie that will warm your soul.
Meghan Markle gazes adoringly at baby Archie on a royal trip
How cute is Prince Archie in his precious blue-and-white gingham overalls? He was just 3 months old in this photo, taken during a trip to South Africa in September 2019. Meghan Markle wraps her hands around Archie's tummy to help him stand up on her knee. She leans forward to smile at her baby while Prince Harry looks on. It's clear she adores her little boy — and by the way he's staring back, the feeling is mutual.
Meghan Markle kisses her baking buddy Archie
Prince Archie acted as his mom Meghan Markle's sous chef while baking cookies in a March 2025 video shared to Instagram. In the clip, Archie and Princess Lilibet both help make thumbprint cookies, which is adorable. But our favorite moment happens when Meghan takes a quick break from rolling and pressing the cookie dough to give her redheaded son a hug and a smooch on the side of his head. Talk about a (literally!) sweet moment.
Meghan Markle and Prince Archie meet Disney princesses together
Sure, Prince Archie may be an actual prince, but that doesn't mean he gets any less excited to meet Disney princesses. Meghan Markle has shared several photos of the family's various trips to Disneyland, including one June 2025 video on Instagram where Archie holds his mom's hand as he approaches Queen Elsa from "Frozen." In another, he acts shy as he hides behind a pillar in front of Princess Aurora from "Sleeping Beauty," while Meghan looks at him and smiles.
Meghan Markle cradles Prince Archie at a polo match
Meghan Markle, who has undergone a stunning style transformation, was laser focused on Prince Archie at The King Power Royal Charity Polo Day at Billingbear Polo Club in July 2019. In a photo from that day, she holds Archie to her chest as they hang out with Archie's cousin Prince George. It's the only time we've seen a photo of these two at the same time, but it gives us hope that they will have another cousin get-together one day now that they are back in the UK.
Prince Archie gives mom Meghan Markle a koala bear hug
Meghan Markle was super mom on Mother's Day 2025, when she held both Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at the same time, while overlooking the beautiful outdoor landscape in a photo uploaded to Instagram. We love how Archie wraps himself around his mom's leg and his arms around her neck, giving her the biggest koala bear hug. "Cheers to juggling it all with joy!" Meghan quipped in the caption, adding that her kids loved climbing "mama mountain." She added, "Being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life."
Meghan Markle was beaming as a new mom with Archie
Meghan Markle had many standout looks when she used to live in the UK, and the dress she wore after welcoming Prince Archie is one of the most special. She wore a pretty ivory trench dress when she introduced her son to the media at St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle on May 8, 2019. Meghan was beaming as she smiled next to her husband, Prince Harry, while he held Archie. The baby was all bundled up in a white blanket and hat that matched his mom in the sweet photo.
