A royal source spoke to Us Weekly and shared that although the Sussexes want their son to have a humble childhood, they went the extra mile to make him feel special on his second birthday on May 6, 2021.

Harry and Meghan Markle made Archie a birthday card and wrote a sweet poem for him. They also spoilt him with gifts, including outdoor toys and an adorable birthday outfit.

This will be Archie's last birthday as an only child as he and his parents are set to welcome his little sister soon. Markle and Harry announced they were expecting a second child in February 2021.

The couple also honored Archie on the Archewell Foundation Website. They shared a new filtered photo of him from behind, holding a beautiful bouquet of foil birthday balloons.

A source revealed that Markle and Prince Harry feel incredibly blessed to have such an articulate son. Apparently, he is already learning to count and has been repeating "two" the whole week.

He showed off his vocabulary skills during an Archewell audio podcast, and with encouragement from his dad, he said "Happy New year" to the listeners of the podcast.

Little Archie is also turning into a little social butterfly like his dad, as a source revealed to Closer Weekly that he has made a few friends in California and is excited to be around children his age.
