Meghan Markle shares new photo of royal baby Archie on 1st Mother’s day

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry proudly shared a photo of royal baby Archie today to mark the Duchess of Sussex’s first US Mother’s Day.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their first born, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6 at 5.26am.

As the first born son of a duke, Archie could have become Earl of Dumbarton – one of Harry’s subsidiary titles – or have been Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, Metro UK reports.

But the couple chose not to use a courtesy title and the decision fits with Harry and Meghan’s desire to give their son as normal a life as possible despite his royal heritage.

This afternoon, the couple shared a new image of baby Archie among a bed of Princess Diana’s favourite flowers.

The post said:

‘Paying tribute to all mothers today – past, present, mothers-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered. ‘We honor and celebrate each and every one of you.

‘Today is Mother’s Day in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Japan, and several countries across Europe.

‘This is the first Mother’s Day for The Duchess of Sussex. ‘Quote from “lands”: my mother was my first country; the first place I ever lived.’
