In a heartwarming moment captured on Harry Mega’s Netflix documentary series, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, and his young son, Prince Archie, share adorable father-son moments.
One particularly endearing clip shows the little toddler assisting his father in picking oranges in their family garden.
Meghan Markle, Archie’s mother, filmed the scene where Harry can be seen picking oranges from a higher level and tossing one down to his son.
Sporting beige trousers, a white t-shirt, and a blue hat, Archie eagerly collects the fruits in a wicker basket already filled with a bountiful haul.
The footage showcases the joyous moments shared between the father and son shortly after the family settled into their new home in August 2020.
Another delightful moment captured in the Netflix show features Harry carrying Archie up the garden steps, revealing the abundance of blossoming flowers in their exclusive estate.
Their garden, complete with a swimming pool, pond, and a vast play park for the children, is a cherished highlight of their property.
Meghan disclosed to The Cut that it was precisely this garden feature that convinced them to choose this particular residence.
She recounted how her husband was immediately drawn to the two palm trees connected at the bottom, remarking, “My love, it’s us.”
This appreciation for nature seems to have been passed down through the generations, as Harry’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, had a well-known affinity for the British countryside and spent summers at Balmoral, engaging in activities such as walking, horse riding, and exploring.
However, there may be challenges ahead for Archie’s royal title.
King Charles, it is reported, intends to prevent Archie from inheriting the Duke of Sussex title from his father, Prince Harry.
This move comes after the king recently set a precedent by making his brother, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, but stating that the title would revert to the monarch upon Edward’s death rather than being passed on to his son.
Royal expert Richard Eaton suggests that this decision is part of King Charles’ plan to ensure that Archie does not receive the Duke of Sussex title.
Eaton shared his insights on the palace confidential talk show, explaining, “I’ve heard it said that part of the reason is that the king wants to stop Archie from inheriting that title of the Duke of Sussex, so this might be part of that.
So now he has to set that precedent.”
However, implementing this change for Archie alone could create complications, as it would require similar adjustments for all the other royal dukes, including the highly respected dukes of Gloucester and Kent.
Earlier this month, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry released a statement addressing their children’s new titles.
They clarified that while Archie and his sister, Elizabeth Diana, have the birthright to be addressed as prince and princess, these titles will primarily be used in formal settings rather than in everyday life.
This decision aligns with Buckingham Palace’s previous arrangements and confirms that the matter has been settled for some time.
Prince Harry currently holds the fifth position in the line of succession to the throne, with Archie Harrison and Elizabeth Diana following as the sixth and seventh in line, respectively.
The future of Archie’s royal title remains uncertain as King Charles seeks to redefine the rules of inheritance.
Only time will tell whether Archie will continue to bear the prestigious Duke of Sussex title or if it will be revoked, altering his place within the royal family’s line of succession.
