Meghan Shares Rare Photos for Archie’s 7th Birthday on Instagram

The curated post signals the Sussexes’ focus on giving their children privacy to grow.

Overview

  • Meghan Markle posted two previously unseen images on Wednesday to mark Archie’s seventh birthday, including a newborn shot on Harry’s chest and a recent beach scene with sister Lilibet.
  • Her caption read “7 years later…happy birthday to our sweet boy,” in a brief tribute that fits the couple’s practice of sharing limited birthday glimpses.
  • A source told People that Harry and Meghan aim to let Archie and Lilibet “be themselves,” reflecting Harry’s wish to avoid the public exposure he experienced as a child.
  • Harry recently said at an April Movember event that therapy helped him prepare for fatherhood and that he wants to be “the best version” of himself for his kids.
  • Since stepping back from royal roles in 2020 and settling in Montecito, the pair have kept the children’s lives mostly off-camera, with reports noting limited contact with King Charles.
