Today we’re sending birthday balloons and big smiles to the West Coast as Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor celebrates his 6th birthday.
Meghan shared the below photo of Archie on her Instagram account in celebration of his birthday.
Her caption read—
Our son. Our sun.
Happy 6th birthday to Archie!
Thank you for all of the love, prayers, and warm wishes for our sweet boy. He’s six! Where did the time go?
(And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special ❤️)”
It’s hard to believe that the little boy who made his debut wrapped in a pristine ivory swaddle and nestled in Prince Harry’s arms at Windsor Castle is already blowing out six candles!
Prince Archie, born on May 6, 2019, arrived in the world to global excitement, with headlines, hearts, and hashtags lighting up in celebration. From that very first photocall—where Meghan stood glowing in a crisp white trench dress by Grace Wales Bonner—fans were smitten. And let’s be honest, that minimalist, structured look wasn’t just symbolic of new beginnings; it marked the start of Meghan’s polished “mom style” era.
Over the years, we’ve caught glimpses of Meghan’s approach to motherhood, often through her signature wardrobe choices: relaxed silhouettes, breezy neutrals, and smart layering—effortless but intentional. Whether it was her chambray shirt dress on Archie’s first birthday video or her barefoot California-casual vibes in those sun-drenched family snapshots, Meghan has redefined what modern royal motherhood looks like.

And though we’ve only had limited peeks into Prince Archie’s life (a choice we deeply respect), the rare moments we do see—like the holiday card where he’s perched on Harry’s lap—are enough to tell us he’s growing up happy, loved, and curious about the world.

As we raise a virtual toast (and perhaps a slice of lemon-elderflower cake in honor of his royal roots), we celebrate not just a birthday, but the beautiful way Meghan has navigated motherhood—with grace, style, and a whole lot of heart.

Meghan has shared a number of photos this year of Archie on her Instagram account.
Happy Birthday, Archie! May your day be filled with laughter, sunshine, and yes—just a little mischief.

Finally, Meghan’s latest episode of Confessions of.a Female Founder podcast is available now. This week Meghan interviews Hannah Mendoza, the co-founder and CEO of Clevr Blends, a California-based wellness brand best known for its superfood latte powders that combine adaptogens, probiotics, and brain-boosting ingredients—all in one creamy, frothy, just-add-water cup.
Mendoza launched Clevr with a vision of creating healthy, accessible drinks that support body and mind—without the need for fancy equipment or a café budget. What started as a pop-up latte bar quickly evolved into a cult-favorite online brand.
And in 2020, Clevr got a royal boost.
Meghan became an investor in the company after personally trying the lattes and falling in love with the product and its mission. In a rare public endorsement, Meghan said she supported the company’s commitment to “a food system centered around people and the planet.” Her investment was also one of the first public glimpses into her post-royal portfolio—an empowering nod to female-founded, socially conscious businesses.

C’est intéressant d’en savoir plus le travail de toutes ces femmes que Meghan met à l’honneur dans ses podcasts surtout qu’on connait la sélection qualitative dans le respect de l’environnement et la santé qui habite Meghan ; du coup ça m’ oriente encore mieux.
Bel anniversaire à Archie, heureuse de le voir grandir aussi bien, il est épanoui, éveillé grâce à ses parents qui le font apprendre et découvrir beaucoup de choses ; et de ce que je vois depuis que je l’observe tout petit, il semble très beau garçon avec un sens de la répartie et plein d’humour comme son papa. Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy birthday to little Prince Archie ! The sunset photo is beautiful, with the railing crossbars. Do you think this is in California ?
Six years already… I remember following live the baby’s presentation to the press. I sent my greetings to Meghan and Harry, and I received in response the third photo you present in the article.
This is where we see how much has happened in just six years.
