The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's baby boy Archie has already had his first visitors, and touchingly, one of the first to drop in was Princess Diana's older sister Lady Jane Fellowes. The Telegraph reports that Prince Harry's aunt, who gave a reading at the royal wedding, met baby Archie last week, keeping the memory of Diana at the centre of Harry's family life.
The new dad is incredibly close to his mother's side of the family and also poignantly included them in Archie's official birth announcement – a change to the way Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' births were confirmed. Archie's statement noted how, alongside the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Diana's siblings Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer were "delighted" by the news.

The beautiful private meeting was captured on camera and shared on Harry and Meghan's Instagram account. The picture, taken by the couple's royal wedding photographer Chris Allerton, showed the Queen cooing over her eighth great-grandchild while Meghan's mum Doria Ragland also looked on in the background.
