Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Release Footage Of Archie Talking And His Accent Is So Sweet

Dec 12, 2022 by apost team

Archie Mountbatten-Windsor is an adorable little tot, and in the photos that have so far been made available to the public, some royal fans have claimed that the little guy bears a striking resemblance to his dad, Prince Harry — as a baby, that is. 

Ever since Archie was born in the spring of 2019, his parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been careful about keeping him away from the public eye as much as possible. While new mothers in Buckingham Palace generally give the public a glimpse of a newborn royal at the Lindo Wing steps at St. Mary's Hospital the day they are born, Archie's parents went against royal protocol and did not invite the press for a photo op. 

However, the doting parents did give the public the tiniest glimpse of the royal tot a few days following his birth in an intimate photo shoot at Windsor Castle's St. Georges Hall. After that, only a few photos from his christening and one uploaded by his mother on the now-inactive Sussex Instagram account were publicly available. 

It was another four months before eager royal fans got to see Archie's full face. While photos of Archie are not easy to come by, he was featured in a trailer for Harry's docu-series on Apple TV+, "The Me You Can't See." The video footage of him and Meghan provided a private glimpse into the family's Montecito, California life.

Now that the Sussexes have finally released their eagerly anticipated Netflix docu-series, "Harry & Meghan," the public is once again getting a glimpse of Archie. This time, the 3-year-old spoke and royal fans can't get enough of his accent.

In September 2019, during Meghan and Harry's last royal tour, Archie made his debut royal engagement in South Africa when he and his parents met Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe. With Archie smiling and being mischievous for the cameras, it's safe to say the little guy stole the show! The group sat down for tea and some chatting and smiles, as Tutu-Gxashe described adorable Archie as a "ladies' man," per The Telegraph. Meghan said her son was an "old soul," and Harry noted that he was already used to the cameras.

At only 4 months old, it was already clear that the little tot bore a striking resemblance to his famous father. Dressed in blue-and-white striped overalls, a long-sleeved white shirt and socks, Archie sat in Meghan’s lap as his parents discussed the Archbishop and his wife's organization, The Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation.

A few months later, the Sussexes took to their Instagram account to post a video looking back at 2019 for the family, which featured a close shot of Archie being held by his dad in Canada. The two were pictured in front of a lake, bundled up in warm winter clothes as the doting dad smiled at baby Archie, who was sporting an adorable double pom-pom gray beanie.

The facial similarities to his dad Harry were evident, notably Archie's cheeks, face shape and hair. One particular photo in which Archie's strong resemblance to his father was clear to see was from King Charles III and Princess Diana's royal tour of Italy in 1985.

Despite being one of the most famous children in the world, we don't know much about Archie's personality or, until recently, even how he spoke. But that all changed in 2022 after the Sussexes released various media projects. 

After the first three episodes of "Harry & Meghan" were released on Dec. 8, 2022, royal fans were eager to see what the famously private couple would reveal. To our delight, the world got another chance to hear Archie speak. In a clip of a stunning sunset in Montecito, Meghan said to her son offscreen:

"Look at that. How would you describe it, Archie?"

In awe of the sky, little Archie responded:

"Well it's all done, beautiful!"

How adorable! But it wasn't the first time we heard Archie's voice. The royal toddler made a short appearance in Meghan's Archetypes podcast.

In the first episode of the Sussex's Netflix series, Archie made an appearance running on a beach while dressed in warm winter layers. The final three episodes of the series are set to drop on Dec. 15, 2022. Netflix called the series "unprecedented," as it revealed it would span from "the early days of the couple’s courtship to the challenges and controversies that led them to feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution."

Meanwhile, the Sussexes said of the show:

“We are grateful to have the ability to share our love story through such an esteemed creative team and with the global reach of Netflix. ... We hope it helps others to heal, and to feel inspired.” 

Although it's unclear exactly how much the couple received for the docuseries, their total Netflix deal is estimated to be $100 million.
