Hey there, royal watchers! Picture this: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who relocated to California back in March, are counting down the days until their little miracle Archie turns one on May 6. While the world might be feeling a bit smaller these days due to the pandemic, love and joy are still front and center. This birthday bash will be a cozy affair, just the three of them, but you can bet it’s going to be packed with heartfelt moments and a whole lot of cuteness. “They’re pulling out all the stops to make Archie’s first birthday unforgettable,” a royal insider tells Closer Weekly in their latest issue, which is out now on newsstands.
A Day Filled With Sweet Surprises
Meghan, always the thoughtful mom, has planned an entire day of festivities to celebrate her precious little boy. Imagine Archie surrounded by colorful balloons, animal-themed cupcakes that would make any kid squeal with delight, and a birthday cake shaped like the number one—how adorable is that? But the surprises don’t stop there. The insider shares, “They’ve set up a series of FaceTime calls with the queen, Prince Charles, and Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, in the morning so Archie can see his loved ones.” And if that wasn’t sweet enough, birthday cards and gifts from England have already made their way across the pond. Kate Middleton even chipped in with a thoughtful present for Archie. Now that’s what I call a family effort!

More Fun on the Horizon
Archie’s parents have more tricks up their sleeves. They’re planning to gift him some inflatable pool toys and a few cuddly stuffed animals. Meghan, who recently lent her voice to a Disney documentary about wild elephants, has clearly passed on her passion for animals to her son. “Archie is absolutely crazy about their dogs,” the insider reveals with a smile. And life in sunny Los Angeles seems to agree with Archie. This little prince loves playing in his new backyard and splashing around in the pool with Dad Harry. “He’s incredibly advanced for his age and has already started walking,” the source gushes.

Thinking Ahead: A Growing Family?
As the couple settles into their new life in L.A., whispers of another baby are starting to surface. Meghan has been teasing friends about surprising Archie with a pint-sized playmate. “Another baby is almost definitely on the cards, and it might happen sooner rather than later,” the insider predicts. “It wouldn’t be surprising if Meghan becomes pregnant before the year is over.” Until then, Harry and Meghan are soaking up every moment as a family of three. As Harry once said, “You can’t rush these things. It’ll happen when it’s supposed to.”
