Harry's birthday plans have been kept private although Meghan is sure to have planned something nice for him. This is also Harry's first birthday as a dad, making it even more special. It is likely that they will be spending the day in Windsor, having moved to their new home Frogmore Cottage earlier in the year, just before the arrival of their son. Harry and Meghan are also no doubt enjoying some time relaxing ahead of their busy tour, which kicks off at the end of the month. They will be taking Archie with them as they travel around South Africa.

Our team has helped create a meaningful programme that we’re so excited to share with you. On a personal note, I can't wait to introduce my wife and son to South Africa! We’ll see all of you very soon.' - The Duke."
