Meghan Markle's photo of Archie is giving Princess Diana fans major déjà vu
Meghan Markle shared her first photo of Archie in over two years on Ellen this week
Meghan Markle has finally shared a photo of Archie—and sent royal fans reminiscing on the late Princess Diana in the process.
- Meghan Markle has Princess Diana fans feeling nostalgic after sharing a rare photo of Archie during her recent appearance on Ellen.
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in 2019, but have kept him hidden from the public eye for most of his childhood.
- In other royal news, Meghan Markle on The Ellen Show reveals her adorable nickname for Lilibet and the milestone she's just reached.
Meghan Markle has made her first live chat show appearance since her withdrawal from the Royal Family with Prince Harry last year, joining Ellen DeGeneres for a hilarious sit-down interview on Thursday evening.
In the highly-anticipated special, the Duchess of Sussex gave viewers an exciting glimpse of their eldest child, Archie, after shielding him from the media for over two years.
In the sweet picture, the two-year-old can be seen standing inside the family's chicken coop at Harry and Meghan's $14 million Santa Barbara mansion, holding a wicker basket and wearing an adorable ensemble of denim jeans, a sky-blue, long-sleeved shirt, and a pair of Hunter x Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles Wellington Boots.

While his face is turned away from the camera to protect his privacy, his distinguishable red hair (which fittingly matches the hens' rusty feathers) is clearly visible in the wholesome shot. The photo, which was released just a few months after Meghan Markle treated fans to their first look at Lilibet Diana, was met by an outpouring of fawning and 'awws'—as well as some touching throwbacks to the Duke of Sussex's own childhood.
With Archie's hair strikingly similar to his father's, it didn't take long for fans to reminisce on Harry's youth growing up in London. The Duke of Sussex has always been known for his distinctive red hair, having inherited the ginger gene from his maternal aunt, Lady Sarah McCorquodale. It's no surprise that this latest photo of Archie has reminded fans of a young Harry, who was almost always accompanied by his mother, Princess Diana, as a child.
