Meghan Markle Celebrates Son Archie's 7th Birthday With Sweet Baby Photo

Meghan Markle is throwing it back to mark her son Prince Archie's 7th birthday!

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared an adorable baby photo of Archie to Instagram on Wednesday, May 6, as the little prince celebrated another turn around the sun.

In the pic, doting dad Prince Harry, 41, can be seen with baby Archie resting on his chest as he looks down dotingly at his firstborn.

Meghan didn't leave Archie's sister, Princess Lilibet, out of the social media celebration, however. In a second snap, shot from behind, Archie and Lilibet, 4, can be seen frolicking on the beach. Archie is seen with a stick in his hand.

"7 years later…happy birthday to our sweet boy 🤍," Meghan captioned the post.

Meghan and Harry welcomed Archie in May 2019, just a year after they tied the knot at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Over the years, Meghan and Harry have selectively shared details about their little ones, although the royals are fiercely protective over their children's privacy.

Meghan expressed her joy about motherhood last year during an episode of her "Confessions of a Female Founder" podcast.

"I love being a mom. Oh, my gosh, I love being a mom so much," the royal said. "It's my favorite thing. It is the thing where you're like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I just need a break, I just need a minute,' and then the second you step into the other room, you go, ‘Oh, let me just scroll through pictures of them endlessly on my phone.'"

"My husband's like, ‘My love, can you just give yourself a minute? Why don't you go work out? Why don't you just go take a bath?' I'm like, ‘I know. I just want a cuddle [from them],'" Meghan continued. "It's the parenting paradigm where it is so full-on, and I wouldn't trade it for anything."

Meghan also spoke about juggling parenthood with running her growing lifestyle brand, As Ever.

"Lili still naps. She gets picked up early, and she naps … she only has a half day in preschool," she said during an April 2025 episode of her podcast. "So if she wakes up and she wants to find me, she knows where to find me. Even if my door is closed to the office. She will be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives. And here we are."
