Meghan Markle Celebrates Archie's First Birthday by Reading a Story

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie turned one on Wednesday and his mom celebrated the day by reading him a special story for charity. The video was posted in the Instagram account of "Save the Children UK" where Archie squirmed as Meghan read him the beloved classic "Duck! Rabbit!"

The Duchess of Sussex was casual in the video wearing a denim shirt and white shorts with her hair pulled back in a bun while holding her son that is wearing a white onesie as he sits on her lap. In the video, Meghan calls her son "Arch" as another manly voice was heard in the background, which is safe to say that it is none other than Prince Harry.

Meghan Markle read Archie books on his birthday to urge her followers to donate to the Save the Children UK.

From being situated on his mother's lap, the one-year-old boy reached down to get another book, and Meghan commanded her son saying that they should finish the first book then they would proceed with the other book.

Archie dropped the book he was holding and answered her mom with his babbles then he fussed over the pages of the first book that they were reading. 

Even though Harry and Meghan gave up their HRH roles, members of the royal family did not fail to celebrate Archie's first birthday. Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton all posted their birthday greetings for the little one on their Instagram accounts.
