Published: May 07 2026

Meghan Markle penned a heartwarming birthday tribute to her eldest child, Prince Archie, celebrating his 7th birthday on May 6th. The "With Love, Meghan" star shared a precious moment on Instagram, expressing her joy and love for her son.

"7 years later," Meghan wrote. "Happy birthday to our sweet boy." Accompanying the loving message were two stunning snaps of Archie. The first photo captured him as a tiny baby, nestled under a blanket on his father's chest, with Prince Harry adoringly gazing at his son. The second photo showed Archie walking along the beach with his sister, Princess Lilibet, 4, holding hands as they walked towards the camera with sticks in their hands.

Since becoming a mother, the founder of As Ever has learned a valuable lesson in approaching her burgeoning business – a lesson that came from Archie and Lilibet. "I'm a mom with kids at that age where they are constantly learning something new," Meghan told Harper's Bazaar in November. "I watch them face things that feel completely insurmountable every day. But you can remember and say, 'I know it seems really hard right now, but trust me, that's going to come so easily soon.'"

Meghan explained that she can give herself the same grace as a founder. "There's no such thing as perfect," she said. In turn, she hopes to teach her children the value of being brave through her own entrepreneurial pursuits. "I hope they see the value of being brave," she shared. "When you're young, I think you are a little bit more fearless. As we get older, we lose some of that."

Of course, every decision is made easier when she has Harry by her side. "He loves me so boldly, fully," she told the outlet about her husband of almost eight years. "And he also has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn't." "No one in the world loves me more than him," she raved. "So I know he's always going to make sure that he has my back."
