New Family Photo of Prince Archie Shared by Meghan Markle Sparks Reactions
Prince Archie Looks ‘So Tall’ in New Sweet Family Photo Shared by His Mom Meghan Markle
The adorable new picture that Prince Archie’s mother posted of a precious family moment with him, her, and his younger sister has the internet in a frenzy due to Prince Archie’s height.
The Duchess of Sussex posted a lovely picture of herself, Princess Lilibet, age 3, and Prince Archie, age 5, on her As Ever profile on Instagram yesterday, March 24, 2025.
The trio’s touching photo left online users in awe of Archie’s growth, with some commenting that he will soon surpass his mother in height. Archie wasn’t the only person who fell in love with Lilibet.
This sweet family moment, which was recorded in a sun-dappled garden, says a lot about love, connection, and the subtle beauty of motherhood. Meghan stands elegantly with her back to the camera, holding Lilibet on her hip as Archie clings to her leg with love.
While a wide-brimmed straw hat protects her face, the photograph focuses on the unspoken warmth between a mother and her children rather than the celebrity. The subtle folds of her pristine white shirt and casual denim enhance the effortless elegance she radiates.
Lilibet, nestled safely in her mother’s arms, mimics Meghan’s fashion sense in an earthy ensemble and a delicately woven cap, her small fingers gripping a basket handle.
Archie, meanwhile, leans into his mother’s side while wearing a warm, dark outfit consisting of gray slacks and a long-sleeved shirt. His distinctive red hair gleams in the sunlight as he puts his arms around Meghan.
A picture-perfect scene that feels both timeless and private is created by the gentle pink blossoms above, the lush vegetation, and the rustic stone wall in front of them.
“Every day is a love story 🕊️” is Meghan’s comment for the endearing photo, a straightforward yet meaningful description of the occasion. It is simple to understand why the post struck such a deep chord with viewers because the scene perfectly captures the innocence of familial love.
Many internet users expressed their amazement at Archie’s apparent growth surge, with one commenting, “by Christmas, Archie will be as tall as Harry 🤧🤧🤧 [sic].” Another wrote, “Archie has gotten so tall and in no time he will already tower over his mama […] 💕.”
Similar opinions were expressed by others; one commenter noted, “Archie already looks half Meghan’s height!” and another person reiterating the point.
As the conversation went on, another commenter expressed awe at Archie’s extraordinary size. Everyone agreed that Archie is maturing quickly and that it won’t be long until he surpasses his mother in height.
Fans praised Archie’s height as well as his inherited family characteristics, with one admirer exclaiming, “Aww, look at Meghan with her two little Sussex kids.” Archie’s grandmother’s long legs are a result of his height. And Lilly’s blondish red hair was swept away. A ton of love 💖💖💖😚 [sic].
In addition to being in awe of Archie’s height, numerous admirers praised him and his younger sister for their adorableness. One follower wrote, “So beautiful we love you Meghan, with the prettiest kids in the world😍😍😍😍[sic]” in response to Meghan’s tweet.
One commenter said, “I love that they have their dad’s red hair,” while another said, “Wow, look at the red hair,” after noting the children’s hair and comparing it to that of their father, Prince Harry. How cute. As one admirer put it again, “What beautiful red hair they have.”
One more person said, “Man, that red hair runs strong in those genes lol.” One supporter defended Meghan’s youngster from the critics, saying, “Archie is gorgeous. The other pictures on his profile told you. That burgundy hue is gorgeous. Lord, please bless this lovely family and burn the hateful people’s eyes. “Amen.”
One person continued the similarities, saying, “They don’t resemble her at all! As if it were nothing!” Another internet user, meanwhile, called the kids “Really cute kids.”
The unposed photo gave people a unique and emotional look into Meghan’s family life and elicited positive responses from her fans who were moved by the poignant moment.
As previously mentioned, the Duchess of Sussex celebrated the first day of spring with a unique photograph of Lilibet. However, it was a minor element in the background rather than the strawberries in the foreground that had internet users talking.
Meghan posted a picture of the young princess carrying a basket of strawberries outside on her Instagram page on March 21. Her tiny feet are visible just below the container.
“Cheers to the first day of spring!” Meghan added a caption to the picture. Behind his sister in the backdrop is a foot that is thought to be Archie’s. But even though there are no faces in the picture, Lilibet’s feet immediately drew attention.
In response to a question on what was so strange about the post that made everyone discuss, someone else said, “The feet and body don’t match up.” “Observe the feet UNDER the strawberry basket,” said another internet user. They don’t seem to be affixed to the body that is supporting the basket.
“Weird feet under the strawberry container,” a third person typed, and a fourth person added, “yep [sic], totally photoshopped as the feet are facing the wrong way.”
Additional internet users questioned the picture, pointing out that the body shape and visible feet didn’t seem to fit the age range of Lilibet and Archie. Some wondered why such unclear pictures were posted at all, while others conjectured that the children appeared older than they actually are.
The children of the royal couple had previously been the focus of attention because of their looks. Meghan posted a video montage of a family baking session with Harry and their kids at the beginning of March.
Netizens, however, were quick to comment on Lilibet’s and Archie’s shifting looks, especially their size and hair.
Meghan captioned the photo, saying, “When baking thumbprint cookies at home turns into a family activity! Thank you for your love and further help, @heartmom & @clarewaightkeller! ❤️.
In the video, a girl who looks like Lilibet participates by standing on a step stool and sporting purple trousers and a headband. Meghan can be seen kissing her son on the head near the end of the montage. Pula, the family’s dog, also briefly appears, licking her lips while a mixer whirs above them.
Clare Waight Keller, the designer of Meghan’s 2018 royal wedding gown, and Alliance of Moms founder Kelly McKee Zajfen were among the people Meghan invited to participate in the baking session.
Meghan, her family, and friends created thumbprint cookies that looked delicious, with a glossy center of bright crimson jam encased in golden, buttery dough.
They were a visually pleasing treat because of their rich color and well-pressed shapes. The handcrafted delicacies seemed to be created with the Duchess of Sussex’s famous raspberry jam.
In response to Meghan’s video, the majority of comments focused on how Archie and Lilibet looked. Skeptical, one individual wrote, “This is not Archie. For a five-year-old, this child appears little [sic]. False. Inconsistencies were pointed out by another person, who said, “He looks different in every photo.”
One person expressed curiosity regarding their sizes by posing the question, “I wonder why the girl looked bigger than the boy.” As one doubter put it, “That does not look like a 3 year old girl or 5 years old boy [sic].” “Photoshopped these are different child [sic] every time!” conjectured yet another onlooker.
An astute observer noticed a difference in haircut and said, “Wow. His hair was extremely wavy on Halloween last year. Straight as a board, now. Fascinating.
“Blonde hair but she says Lilibet has red hair?” was written by someone who shared similar opinions. “He has red hair as his dad, I see 😍,” said another netizen, who took a different stance.
Princess Lilibet and Archie have largely been kept out of the spotlight by Meghan and Harry. But since the Duchess’s new Instagram account was created in January 2025, the children have been visible on her social media accounts.
Meghan posted a carousel of pictures, including a touching father-daughter encounter between Harry and Lilibet, to remember her mother on International Women’s Day and to recognize women around the world. Online users have strong opinions concerning the safety of the young girl after seeing this photo.
The picture shows the Duke of Sussex sitting on a boat with his young daughter safely in his arms. He leans in close to his daughter, who is wearing a bright pink blouse and floral-patterned leggings, while wearing a casual white t-shirt, striped shorts, and a backward cap.
Harry puts his cheek to Lilibet’s head while sporting sunglasses, creating a loving and protective moment. The scene offers a unique look into their private family life, with serene waters behind them and a clear blue sky sprinkled with gentle clouds.
Meghan’s International Women’s Day Instagram carousel was a touching homage to the women who have influenced her life, not only her daughter. In one of the pictures, Meghan was seen grinning in a dimly lit event setting alongside her mother, Doria Ragland.
Meghan looked stunning in a black dress as she leaned in next to her mother in the loving, unguarded photo, which emphasized the mother-daughter relationship they have had over the years.
Meghan’s more amorous and playful side was depicted in another picture. She and Harry are seen giggling as waves lap at their feet while they embrace on a sunny beach.
Harry, wearing casual shorts and a t-shirt, put his arms around Meghan from behind while she leaned forward in a flowing black dress and a wide-brimmed white hat. The post’s main theme—love, partnership, and the individuals who support us throughout life’s journey—was further enhanced by the couple’s casual and intimate moment.
The tone for the entire homage was established by Meghan’s post’s cover image, which featured a black-and-white old photo of her with her mother when she was a little kid. The sentimental photo shows a curly-haired Meghan squatting next to Doria, as if they were doing something together in a park.
“Happy Women’s International Day! Honoring the strong women in our community and the young ladies who have aspirations to become visionary women. Meghan captioned the photo, “Thanking those who inspire us every day as well.”
Even though the picture of Harry and Lilibet on the boat was supposed to be a sweet father-daughter moment, it soon became the subject of intense online discussion.
Lilibet’s failure to wear a life jacket while out on the lake was criticized by many as a clear safety hazard. One person cried out, “That’s nuts!” and another person repeated, “OMG! So dangerous.
Others raised possible legal concerns, saying, “It appears that the child is on a boat without a life jacket.” Just a bit careless and unlawful. Another commenter’s statement, “Totally irresponsible to have a small child in a boat without a life jacket,” echoed the sentiment.
Someone else reprimanded the parents, emphasizing that even pet owners put their pets’ safety first while they are on boats, while also stressing the significance of water safety.
Another person expressed worry, pointing out how absurd the scenario appeared. One observer questioned whether there were any legal requirements being disregarded, while another netizen on X emphasized the significance of the whole family wearing life vests.
Meghan has previously published images of her daughter, including the much-discussed picture of Lilibet with her father. The Duchess of Sussex recently shared another photo of the little child with tennis icon Serena Williams, giving her fans another look at the child having fun.
Meghan’s Instagram Stories featured the footage. It raised anticipation for her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” which was set to debut on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
In the endearing video, the young princess played a game with her “auntie” Serena while looking gorgeous in a pink costume. The two engaged in a modified round of the traditional board game “Candy Land.” “Archie & Lili” was written at the top of the pastel pink personalized set.
The timeless song “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers played in the background of the video, and the text superimposed the moment, highlighting Meghan’s affection for Serena.
A follow-up post from Meghan further heightened interest in her upcoming show. Text indicating the number of days till the series premiere was included in the since-expired narrative.
Another noteworthy aspect of the video was Lilibet’s attire. She had on a similar T-shirt and pink floral leggings. The leggings were recognized as The Children’s Place Girls Print Leggings.
Apart from Lilibet’s adorable pink attire, her hair color was another noteworthy aspect of the adorable playdate. The peek of Meghan and Harry’s daughter left some perplexed, wondering why her hair varied depending on her appearance.
“I thought Lilibet had curly hair?” someone asked. “How come her hair is a different color from the last rare peek?” inquired another, who was taken aback by the apparent alteration.
“Why does it never ever look like the same child?” asked another spectator, pointing out the differences. The child transforms from a fiery redhead to a blonde. “What happened to the red curly hair?” said another, echoing the bewilderment.
“Why are both their kids have such a straight hair[sic]?” said another perplexed onlooker. The question, “Where is her daughters waist length hair from a previous picture [sic]?” fueled more conjecture.
Since Meghan started posting more pictures of her kids, people have been commenting on their looks and way of life, which has led to constant conversations.
