"The name Los Padres was inspired by the proximity of the field to the Los Padres National Forest and also by our connection as fathers."

The fatherly spirit must have been high for Harry whose son Archie was receiving birthday wishes from his royal relatives.

The Queen took to social media with a heartfelt message for the three-year-old.
