'To have outdoor space where I can go for walks with Archie - we go on hikes or go down to the beach' The Duke of Sussex

Sleeping soundly in his father’s arms, Prince Archie made his public debut two days after his birth, with an overjoyed Duke and Duchess of Sussex describing being parents as “magic”.

His appearance in St George’s Hall in Windsor Castle in May 2019 marked a break from royal family tradition, with no immediate photocall as his mum and dad expressed their wish for their son to grow up as a private citizen.

Following his parents’ relocation to the celebrity enclave of Montecito in Santa Barbara, California, Archie, now five – his birthday is 6 May – is being raised there along with his two-year-old sister Princess Lilibet.

He is settled at preschool, with both Prince Harry, 39, and 42-year-old Meghan juggling the nursery run in between work commitments.
