Even though Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and his parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, were thousands of miles away in their Los Angeles home, his royal relatives still celebrated his first birthday with social media posts.

While Kate Middleton and Prince William shared an image that showed members of the royal family including the celebrant, the Royal Family posted a picture of Meghan showing her son off to the Queen with the caption:

"Happy Birthday to Archie Mountbatten-Windsor who is celebrating his 1st birthday today!"

Prince Charles and his wife, Camila, Duchess of Cornwall, also joined the celebratory train to upload a picture that was taken after Archie's christening in July 2019.

Before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the couple had planned to mark their child's first birthday with "members of the royal family.

As expected, the posts were followed by hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of happy birthday compliments.

Amid the good wishes from royal observers, USA Today reported that the Los Angeles-based public relations team for Harry and Meghan have refused to share any details regarding what plans the pair has for Archie's birthday celebrations.

It was noted by NBC Miami that before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the couple had planned to mark their child's first birthday with "members of the royal family, cousins, grandparents and some godparents in the U.K. when they were over in the U.K."

Despite the impossibility of that happening, there was some hope that the family would celebrate the tot's birthday with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.

As it turned out, the former social worker lives nearby in Los Angeles and is close enough to meet with Harry, Meghan, and Archie, but it's all still speculation.

Regardless of how things look, royal observers still believe that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would release a new photo pf their son as a way to mark his birthday.

It was previously reported by Harper's Bazaar that a source revealed to The Sunday Times' royal correspondent Roya Nikkah, that they should expect to see the one-year-old.

The source, however, did not disclose how the couple intended to share the image, especially since they have lost the rights to use their Sussex Royal Instagram account.
