Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie turns 7

Archie is the eldest of Prince Harry and Meghan's two children.

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.

The family of four are expected to celebrate Archie's birthday privately.

Last year, on Archie's 6th birthday, Meghan shared a photo of her son 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.
