  "textContent": "\n\n\nMeghan Markle has posted unseen photos of Archie with his father, Prince Harry, and his sister, Lilibet, to mark his seventh birthday.\n\nThe young prince is celebrating his special day today, Wednesday, May 6.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMeghan and Harry follow a tradition set by the Prince and Princess of Wales by posting new photos of their children to mark their birthday.\n\nThe post, which includes two new photos, is accompanied with the caption: \"7 years later…happy birthday to our sweet boy\".\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe first photo depicts a newborn Archie, laying on the chest of Harry in what could be Frogmore Cottage - the Sussex's former residence in Windsor before they moved to the US.\n\nOn the second picture, Archie can be seen with sister Lilibet, four, walking on a picturesque beach.\n\nCelebrations for Archie's birthday come less than a week after the William and Catherine celebrated the 11th birthday of Charlotte, posting a a photo of the young royal smiling as she strolls through a field of daisies.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHowever, plans for the two joyous occasions are likely to be markedly different, with Archie celebrating some 5,000 miles away from his cousins in London.\n\nArchie was born on May 6, 2019, at London's Portland Hospital, rather than the traditional Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital. The family moved to the US merely months later, where they currently reside in Montecito, California.\n\nSo while the youngster was actually born in Windsor, he has grown up in the US.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST ROYAL NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * King Charles receives huge praise for 'amazing' Congress address\n  * Surprise guest takes centre stage at Buckingham Palace garden party\n  * Catherine makes special nod to George, Charlotte and Louis as she steps out in London\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nLast year, for Archie's sixth birthday, Meghan released a sweet photo of the young prince watching the sunset.\n\nShe also later revealed they hosted a party for the youngster, while Lilibet was treated with a dream trip to Disneyland.\n\nAccording to royal biographer Omid Scobie, it was actually the birth of Archie that gave Meghan and Harry the reason to leave the Royal Family.\n\nHe claims their first child gave them the courage \"to stand up for what was right for them, regardless of what the consequences\".\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"As we have seen, those consequences have been pretty major,\" he said.\n\nKing Charles has met his grandson just a handful of times, although it is suggested he is keen to rebuild his relationship with both Archie and Lilibet. He has met his granddaughter just once.\n\nHowever, the duke and duchess's unprecedented decision to ditch the Royal Family and the UK altogether is said to have left the late Queen Elizabeth II \"heartbroken\" knowing she would not get the chance to watch her great-grandchildren grow up.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
