This is the moment Prince Harry beamed as he announced the birth of son Archie five years ago today – just months before Megxit.
Today the Californian-based royals will be celebrating their eldest child’s fifth birthday at their Montecito home.
In a gushing video, a very happy Duke of Sussex announced to the world that their little boy had been born at 5.26am on May 6 2019, weighing 7lb 3oz.
Reassuring the public that both mother and baby are ‘doing well’ he said being at the birth – which he joked was ‘his first’ was ‘absolutely incredible’, adding: ‘How any woman does that, what they do is beyond comprehension.’
Little did the British public know that only seven months later, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle would step down from their role as senior royals before departing to Canada in March 2020.
In the year’s that followed, their has been considerable fallout between the couple and the rest of the royal family following on from the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan as well as the Duke’s memoir Spare.
Despite this, King Charles, who last saw his second son in January after Harry flew over following his father’s shocking cancer diagnosis, is set to reach out to Archie to wish him a happy birthday, a royal expert claimed.
