Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from their high-profile royal duties in 2020 and eventually settled in Montecito, where they focused on raising their family away from the intense public scrutiny surrounding the royal family. Despite their desire for greater privacy, the couple continues to be significant public figures through projects such as their Netflix documentary series, Harry’s memoir «Spare», - interviews, podcasts, and Meghan’s recent ventures in the lifestyle sector.
While Harry and Meghan continue to attract media attention, public curiosity is also focused on their two children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Windsor. Archie was born in May 2019, and Lilibet was born in June 2021. Following the ascension of King Charles III in 2022, the siblings officially became Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet according to royal titles.
Harry and Meghan mostly keep their children out of the spotlight, occasionally sharing moments from family life through holiday cards, documentaries, interviews, and selective social media posts. Nevertheless, Archie and Lilibet remain among the most discussed young members of the royal family, and fans eagerly await the opportunity to learn more about their lives, personalities, and upbringing in California.
As they grow and make their mark on the world, we have additional information about the Windsor children, from details of their births to their developing personalities and everything their loving parents have said about their growth. Read more below.
Meghan and Harry are raising two children: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, born on May 6, 2019, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, born on June 4, 2021. Archie was born at Portland Hospital in London, while Lilibet was born at Santa Barbara Hospital in California. Lilibet weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces—eight ounces more than her older brother, who was born weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces.
The names Archie and Lilibet were chosen with family traditions in mind, although they deviate slightly from the norm. It was recently revealed that Archie almost received a different name—Harrison. «She said, 'Harrison is Archie’s middle name,'» one participant in the Invictus Games recounted about a conversation Meghan had during the games, according to Us Weekly. «They were just discussing because Harry and Meghan couldn’t decide which name to choose—Archie or Harrison».
As Archie is seventh in line to the British throne, he is entitled to use his father’s title, Earl of Dumbarton, as an honorary title. However, the Duke and Duchess decided that he would be called Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, as they want him to grow up as a private individual.
As for Lilibet, she was named after her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, whom the family called «Lilibet». She was also given the middle name «Diana» in honor of her paternal grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Lilibet is also eighth in the line of royal succession.
Despite the high tensions within the royal family due to Meghan and Harry’s departure from the UK, the family appears to have sent their best wishes when Harry’s father, then-Prince Charles, posted a statement on his official Instagram after Lilibet’s birth. «Congratulations to Harry, Meghan, and Archie on the arrival of baby Lilibet Diana», - read the caption to a touching photo of Meghan, Harry, and their son.
While they prefer to keep things relatively quiet, both Meghan and Harry have shared some behind-the-scenes details about their children. During The Ellen Show in November 2021, Meghan revealed that for Halloween, the family decided to stay home for a family celebration, but neither Archie nor Lilibet was particularly pleased with that.
«We were home and saw you, which was wonderful», - Meghan said about meeting Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi, their neighbors. «But no, we wanted to do something fun for the kids, and…»
