Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor weighed 3.18kg and was born at 5.26am. in a room decorated with candles and a photo of Princess Diana.
The first pictures released two days later showed him being introduced to the late Queen and Prince Philip and Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle’s mother.
Speaking from Windsor on the day his son was born, Prince Harry beamed that Archie’s birth was “the most amazing experience I could ever imagine”.
But due to the royal rift that saw him and Meghan move to California, he only spent the first five months of his life in the UK.
This meant that, as the Duke previously said, the US is “home” for him.
Details of Archie’s golden life with his younger sister Lilibet, two, were revealed in Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary series last year.
He was seen chasing seagulls on the beach, helping his parents pick oranges in the garden and playing with his two beloved family dogs – Pula the Labrador and a Beagle named Guy.
Archie was previously revealed to be in nursery school and is due to start full-time education when he turns six. He might as well enroll in kindergarten in the fall now that he’s five.
When Meghan was in labor at the private Portland Hospital, Harry revealed he used the laughing gas meant for his wife to calm his nerves.
The couple also listened to songs by German artist Deva Premal.
When the contractions accelerated, Meghan jumped into a tub to deliver the baby and had an epidural to help with the labor pain.
Harry said he held Meghan’s hand as she pushed to give birth to Archie and revealed he had a complicated birth, describing his son’s head as ‘tangled’.
