Meghan Markle celebrated Prince Archie’s seventh birthday on Wednesday by posting two previously unseen photographs on Instagram, offering royal watchers a rare peek into the couple’s former Windsor residence.<\/p>\n

Among the images shared by the Duchess of Sussex was a touching baby photograph capturing the newborn Archie sleeping on his father’s chest at Frogmore Cottage.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, had settled into the four-bedroom Windsor property shortly before their son arrived on May 6, 2019.<\/p>\n

The intimate picture revealed numerous details about the Sussexes’ UK bedroom before their subsequent move to Montecito, California.<\/p>\n

For example, a framed portrait of Princess Diana was positioned carefully on Prince Harry’s bedside dresser, a touching tribute to his late mother.<\/p>\n

The bedroom walls also featured artwork that Meghan transported from Canada when she relocated ahead of her royal wedding.<\/p>\n

The piece, a watercolour entitled ‘Babe No. 5’ by American artist Inslee Fariss, had previously hung in the guest bedroom of Meghan’s Toronto flat during her Suits filming days.<\/p>\n

The North Carolina-based painter completed the figure study before Meghan had even encountered Prince Harry, later expressing astonishment at how “life turns out.”<\/p>\n

The duchess reportedly paid \u00a3520 for the artwork.<\/p>\n

The photograph also revealed Meghan’s preference for neutral tones, with off-white walls complementing a matching lamp on Harry’s bedside table, echoing the aesthetic of her former Toronto apartment.<\/p>\n

A large fiddle leaf fig plant, believed to retail for up to \u00a3300, added greenery to the space, a houseplant variety the duchess has maintained at their current \u00a311million Californian home.<\/p>\n

Additional decorative touches included a gilded mirror flanked by brass wall sconces.<\/p>\n

The newborn Archie appeared wrapped in a luxurious cashmere blanket with lace trim, thought to be a \u00a3250 piece from royal-favoured brand Trotters.<\/p>\n

Alongside the baby photograph, Meghan posted an image of Archie on a beach with his younger sister, Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n

The young royal marked his birthday more than 5,000 miles from his extended family, who have encountered him only a handful of times.<\/p>\n

King Charles has met his grandson on just a few occasions, while Lilibet, four, has seen her grandfather only once in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle celebrated Prince Archie’s seventh birthday on Wednesday by posting two previously unseen photographs on Instagram, offering…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944042,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,1281,447,5105,512,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-944041","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-meghan-markle","11":"tag-prince-harry","12":"tag-royal","13":"tag-sgg","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116533946658933210","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
