Newly revealed images of the Sussexes’ first son are said to look quite similar to Meghan when she was 6 months old.

On May 25, a photo of the Duchess of Sussex when she was just 6 months old being held by her half-sister Samantha Markle was shared by royal fan Julieth on Twitter. Next to this photo was an image of baby Archie sitting on a swing featured in Prince Harry’s new Apple TV mental health drama – The Me You Can’t See .
In the photo, Archie (2 years old) seems to be very happy as he is pushed back and forth on a swing in the garden of the mansion worth nearly 15 million USD in Montecito, California. Both Archie now and Meghan when young have curly brown hair, sparkling black eyes and chubby cheeks. This resemblance has led fans to call the Sussexes’ first son a mini version of his mother Meghan.
“Archie looks so much like Meghan,” Julieth wrote on Twitter. Her comment quickly received approval from internet users. Many Sussex fans said the boy looked more like his mother than his father, especially his smile.
One user wrote: “I think his features are changing, gradually shifting from his father to his mother. Can’t wait to see who Archie’s face will resemble more in the future.” Another user commented: “He looks like both his father and mother.” A third person praised: “Just like Meghan, so handsome!”

The comparisons come after Harry shared a new video of his son in a documentary series he co-produced with media mogul Oprah Winfrey. In the film, Harry only shows his son in the frame for a few seconds so that his face is not shown.
The 36-year-old prince said his motivation for moving from the UK to the US was for his wife and children. The Duke of Sussex has been highly critical of the way the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles raised their children. His grandparents and father were the ones who led him into a cycle of misery and Harry was determined not to let his children suffer the same.
Harry also admitted that he had mental health problems and had sought treatment. However, it seems that the Duke of Sussex has no intention of examining whether the problem originated from himself or not, but only focuses on blaming the royal family for the series of tragedies in both his life and his mother, the late Princess Diana.
