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.

The 2024 Sussex Christmas card

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.

Archie's first high-profile public outing was at the polo in July 2019. The little boy was only two months old and adorably slept for most of it!

Archie's first photo

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."
