Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet may be royals, but they have in fact spent little time with their royal relatives. Since Harry, 40, and Meghan, 44, quit royal life in 2020 and moved to America, their children have stepped foot on UK soil very few times.
While Archie, now six, was born in the UK and spent the first few months of his life there, this was not the case for Lilibet, now four, who was born in America. This means that while Lilibet has very few, if any, memories of her dad’s home country to look back on, Archie does in fact have a few.
Although he was just two months old at the time and unlikely to have any recollection, Archie will one day be able to look back on photographs of himself and his royal cousins enjoying a very classic royal activity – attending a polo match.
This was Archie’s first public day out with his three cousins Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte 10, and Prince Louis, seven – cousins he is not believed to have seen for some time.
The day out took place in the summer of 2019 at The King Power Royal Charity Polo Day in Wokingham. Meghan Markle and Archie spectated the game that Prince Harry and his now estranged brother Prince William were participating in.
They were joined by William’s wife Princess Kate, as well as George, Charlotte and Louis. With William and Kate’s children being slightly older, they were seen at the time running around, playing and enjoying the sunshine.
While they seemed to glance across at their baby cousin, they seemed more interested in playing with one another and Princess Kate.
