Prince Archie<\/a> is celebrating his 7th birthday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The eldest child of Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan<\/a>, the Duchess of Sussex, was born May 6, 2019, in London, near where the family lived at the time.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan now live in California with Archie and their daughter Lilibet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The family of four are expected to celebrate Archie’s birthday privately.<\/p>\n

Last year, on Archie’s 6th birthday, Meghan shared<\/a> a photo of her son looking out at the ocean with the sun in front of him.<\/p>\n

Archie’s birthday falls just a few weeks after Harry and Meghan returned from a four-day visit<\/a> to Australia, their first trip there since 2018, when Meghan’s pregnancy with Archie was announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 7-year-old’s birthday also falls less than one week after his grandfather King Charles III<\/a> visited the United States on a four-day state visit<\/a> with Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla visited Washington, D.C., New York and Virginia during their time in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Charles, Harry’s father, is not believed to have seen his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, in person since 2022, when they and their parents\u00a0attended<\/a>\u00a0Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

Archie’s seventh birthday falls on the third anniversary of Charles’ coronation<\/a>, which took place on May 6, 2023. Harry attended<\/a> his father’s coronation, while Meghan, Archie and Lilibet did not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Archie is celebrating his 7th birthday.
