Royal fans can’t get enough of little tidbits about the oldest child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Perhaps it’s because we’ve seen so few glimpses of him, or perhaps it’s simply because the bits of Archie we do know about remind us all of another little royal boy we once knew. Prince Harry himself, Archie’s dad and, in so many ways, his doppelgänger. They’re two peas in a pod, this father and son duo. And we can’t get enough of it. Here are just 10 ways they are alike.
Prince Harry and Archie share a name.
When Meghan Markle gave birth to her first child with Prince Harry on May 6, 2019, they named their little boy Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Harrison, after his own father Harry. That’s a sort of lovely bond for father and son to enjoy.
Neither of them have to bear the weight of the crown.
While both Archie and his dad were born into the royal family, neither one of them have to deal with the fear of becoming king someday. Not really. Yes, they are certainly both in the line of succession, but Prince Harry was knocked down three places after his older brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton welcomed their own three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. This means that he comes in at a comfortable sixth on the line of succession, while Archie is behind him at seventh. The unlikelihood of either of them becoming king affords them both a significant level of freedom, especially now that they have moved away…
