Unseen childhood picture of Meghan Markle looks just like Prince Archie

The Duchess of Sussex offered insight into her childhood and growing up in LA in her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

She shared a number of personal photographs, including one of her as a little girl, and the snap reminds us so much of her son Prince Archie.

In the fourth episode, Meghan reminisced about her time as a Girl Scout, revealing: “I was a Girl Scout for so many years. I started as a Daisy, which is when you’re five or six, and I sold a lot of cookies. And my mom was my troop leader!”

The picture, taken in the 1980s, shows Meghan wearing her brown Girl Scout uniform with a red necktie, and snaps of Archie as a baby and a toddler, show how much he looks like his mother at a similar age.

“I think, at the moment, I see a lot of my wife in Archie and I see a lot of my mum [Princess Diana] in Lili. She’s very Spencer-like. She’s got the same blue eyes…,” Harry said.

“Blue, blue, blue eyes,” Meghan added, with Harry sharing: “Sort of like golden reddish hair.”

Elsewhere in the episode, the Duchess also spoke about how Archie loves to make “sun tea” like she did when she was a kid.

Speaking to her friend, Delfina Blaquier, Meghan explained: “As a kid I was taking a bag of tea from the drawer in my house and putting it in a mason jar or probably an empty jar that once held spaghetti sauce and putting it in the sun and sitting there like this… waiting for it to change colour. Which, funny enough, is what Archie does now.”
