In a revealing moment just months before Prince Archie’s parents stepped back from their roles as senior royals, the Duke of Sussex hinted at his son’s future with a poignant six-word statement.

This intriguing remark surfaced during a heartfelt conversation between Prince Harry and renowned anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall, shedding light on the family’s transition.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines when they decided to leave the royal family in early 2020, seeking a more independent life in America.

Their departure was not just a personal choice; it marked a significant shift in the dynamics of the British monarchy.

As the couple navigated this new chapter, insights from close friends, like Dr. Goodall, have provided a glimpse into their world.

Dr. Goodall, a long-time friend of the Duke, had the opportunity to visit the Sussexes at their home, Frogmore Cottage, where she met baby Archie for the first time.

During this visit, which coincided with an interview for a special edition of Vogue magazine, the warmth and affection shared among them were palpable.

Royal expert Robert Lacey noted that the Duchess cradled little Archie, allowing Dr. Goodall to share a tender moment with him.

Recollecting her experience, Dr. Goodall expressed her joy in holding Archie, saying, “He was very tiny and very sleepy.” This intimate encounter was significant, not just for the anthropologist but also for the royal family, as it symbolized the blend of personal and public life that the Sussexes were striving to balance.

In a light-hearted exchange, Dr. Goodall playfully mentioned that she showed Archie the famous “queen’s wave.”
