Towering Prince Archie is Prince Harry’s mini-me in family holiday photos

The Duchess of Sussex shared highlights from a fun family trip to Disneyland, including new snaps of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The youngsters have inherited their father’s red hair, but Archie, six, in particular, with his height, looks like a mini version of Prince Harry.

Wearing a cap, collared jacket, jeans and trainers, Archie bore a striking resemblance to Harry in a picture taken when he and his parents were on an interactive Star Wars ride.

While Meghan has shared more photos than ever this year of her children, she still maintains their privacy by covering their faces or posting images taken of the back of their heads.

“Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” the Duchess wrote in the caption, with the Sussexes enjoying a meet-and-greet with Disney cast members, rollercoaster rides and an impressive Little Mermaid-themed cake to celebrate Lilibet’s fourth birthday, which fell on 4 June.

Born in London

Unlike his younger sister Lilibet, Archie spent the first six months of his life living in the UK. He was born at the Portland Hospital in London on 6 May 2019, with Harry and Meghan bringing their baby boy home to their former Windsor abode, Frogmore Cottage.

He then accompanied Harry and Meghan on their tour of South Africa at five months old but after their trip, the Sussexes took an extended break from their royal duties, taking baby Archie with them to Canada.

Stepping back

Archie moved to the US when he was 10 months old after his parents stepped down as senior working royals for a new life in California.

After purchasing their family home in Montecito, Harry and Meghan have carved out new ventures, with Archie and Lilibet now settled in their respective school and preschool.

In 2023, it was confirmed that the Duke and Duchess had begun using their children’s royal titles in an official capacity, as Archie and Lilibet became entitled to become prince and princess when their grandfather ascended the throne in September 2022.
