Archie looks just like Prince Harry did at the same age!
By Zach Harper
Fans have pointed out for a while now that Archie is Prince Harry's mini-me, and the little boy's first birthday video just about proves it!
In the sweet clip released to celebrate Harry and Duchess Meghan's son turning one, Archie can be seen sitting in his mom's lap as she reads to him. The two are enjoying Duck! Rabbit!, one of Archie's favourite books, while Harry is behind the camera.

At one point, the little lad looks at his papa and says out loud, "dada." As he stares at the camera, you can't help but see how closely he resembles his father.
Indeed, if you compare photos of Harry at the same age... they're practically identical! It does seem like Archie's hair might be starting to get a bit darker as he ages, though there's still a lot of red in it. Harry also had a bit more hair.

It was quite a joy for royals fans to see Archie on his first birthday! We last saw the little boy on New Year's Eve, when his parents shared a sweet snap of his dad holding him on a coastline. It looked like the photo, taken by Meghan, might have been shot on Vancouver Island, where the Sussex family was staying at the time.
Since then, Archie's life has had quite a few changes! The one-year-old moved with his parents to Los Angeles earlier this year, where they've relocated following stepping down from their senior royal roles in March. The couple are continuing to carve out their future as they settle in Meghan's hometown. They've also been volunteering, delivering food to vulnerable people during the coronavirus pandemic.
Meghan recently voiced the Disneynature documentary Elephant, while Harry provided the intro for the 75th anniversary episode of Thomas & Friends. We're sure he has been reading those books to Archie and has been introducing Thomas the Tank Engine to his son, since he loved the series as a toddler as well.
Happy Birthday, Archie!
