Here’s the deal: when Archie popped up on the screen, it brought back a wave of nostalgia for Her Majesty. “Seeing Archie reminded the Queen of when Harry was a baby because they look so alike,” the source revealed. But it’s not just Harry she sees in him—there’s a little bit of Meghan in there too. “She can’t believe how much Archie has grown and changed,” the insider added. It’s truly heartwarming to hear how much joy this little guy brings to his great-grandmother.

Queen Elizabeth’s Low-Key Birthday Celebration
On Tuesday, April 21, Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 94th birthday in a quiet, low-key way. She spent the evening at home with her husband, Prince Philip, enjoying a peaceful night in. Of course, due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, her other family members couldn’t join her at Windsor Castle. But let’s be real—she still had plenty to look forward to. Every year, her staff makes her a delicious chocolate birthday cake, and this year was no exception.
According to Darren McGrady, her former chef, the recipe for the cake dates all the way back to Queen Victoria’s chef. “The same chocolate cake is made for all the members of the family on their birthdays,” Darren told Closer on April 15. “We never changed the recipe.” Talk about a timeless tradition!
