Hey there, friends! Let’s dive into the world of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, shall we? Their adorable son, Archie Harrison, is just 16 months old, but he’s already making waves. According to an insider, the little royal is “full of energy” and is stealing hearts, even on FaceTime. Closer Weekly got the exclusive scoop on how this dynamic duo is embracing their new life in sunny Santa Barbara, California, with their bundle of joy.
Now, listen up, because this is where it gets interesting. Archie isn’t just your average toddler; he’s got a personality that shines brighter than the Santa Barbara sun. “Archie is such a character and absolutely loves being on FaceTime,” the source reveals. “He’s full of energy, always on the move, and his parents can’t wait for him to start making friends in the neighborhood.” You can practically picture the little guy zooming around the house, ready to take on the world.

Settling Into Their Dream Home
Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, officially became Santa Barbara residents when they moved to the exclusive Montecito neighborhood in early August. Their stunning $14.7 million estate has become the perfect backdrop for raising Archie. The insider shares that Harry has already started teaching his son to swim in their luxurious pool, and they’re about to embark on the next big milestone—potty-training Archie. Talk about keeping busy, right?

Outdoor Adventures and Healthy Living
Besides teaching Archie new tricks, this couple is all about embracing the great outdoors. They’ve been spending a lot of quality time with their son in their lush garden. “They’re building a vegetable garden and growing fruit and herbs,” the source explains. “Since meeting Meghan, Harry’s adopted a healthier lifestyle, and everything they eat is organic. You can tell they’re committed to raising Archie with a focus on wellness and sustainability.”
Harry’s been FaceTiming friends from the garden, showing off their new home, including Archie’s enormous playroom. The source adds, “The playroom is filled with family pictures on the wall, creating a warm and inviting space for Archie to explore and grow.” It’s clear that this family is creating a home filled with love and laughter.

A New Chapter in Santa Barbara
It hasn’t been an easy road since stepping back from their royal duties in January, but Harry is definitely happier in Santa Barbara. After giving up their roles in Queen Elizabeth’s royal family, the couple first relocated to Canada and then bounced around California. “Harry and Meghan have no regrets whatsoever about purchasing their home in Montecito,” the insider insists. “He says he feels safer and more relaxed at their new home and enjoys the freedom. It’s nice to see Harry smiling again.”
Before settling in central California, Harry and Meghan rented actor Tyler Perry’s Los Angeles property since March. They chose Montecito because it’s the “perfect place for Archie to grow up,” a previous source revealed. “It’s beautiful and spacious, but not too over-the-top. The house has a Mediterranean vibe to it—French doors, archways, and a pool. You can tell they’ve found the perfect balance between luxury and comfort.”
As Archie continues to grow, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this adorable little royal. From swimming lessons to potty-training, each milestone is a testament to the love and care his parents are pouring into his life.
