Since moving to California in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have kept their family life largely away from public life.
Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle, 43, are raising two children – Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three – in Montecito, California, and while they have generally kept insights into their childrens' lives away from the spotlight, they have shared a handful of photos over the years.

"It's magic," Meghan said of motherhood following Archie's birth. "It's pretty amazing and, I mean, I have the two best guys in the world, so I'm really happy." But what does Prince Archie look like now? Join HELLO! in delving back into the archive as we revisit the sweetest picture of the Sussexes' oldest child…
In December, the couple released their 2024 Christmas card. The family of four was pictured in the grounds of their home where Prince Archie could be seen from behind, running towards his mother who had her arms outstretched.
He wore jeans and a knit sweater in the photo, which also featured his sister, Princess Lilibet, and their late pet dog Guy.

Sussex family Christmas
The Sussexes are notoriously private and chose to share a beautiful illustration of their family for their 2020 Christmas card, instead of a traditional photo, which showed Archie taking centre stage.

When Archie went to South Africa
In September 2019, Archie made his official public debut on Prince Harry and Meghan's royal tour of Africa. The then four-month-old joined his parents as they met with Archbishop Desmond Tutu at his legacy foundation in Cape Town.
The royal couple announced Archie's arrival on 6 May 2019, with a statement which read: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526hrs this morning. The baby weighs 7lbs 3oz. The Duke of Sussex was present for the birth."
The statement concluded: "Her Royal Highness and the baby are both doing well."
Just two days later, after enjoying some privacy as a new family of three, both Harry and Meghan introduced little Archie to the world in a photocall held at Windsor Castle, close to the grounds of their UK home, Frogmore Cottage.

The happy family
During the photocall, proud dad Harry shared: "We're both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there, it's been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody."
Loving life as a father, Harry explained: "It's great. Parenting is amazing. It's only been two and a half days, three days, but we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy and be able to spend some precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up."
