Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have always been naturals with young children, but in a new video shared by Sussex Royal, fans were able to see the new parents in action.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex surprised their neighbours in Windsor for a coffee morning for military families at the Broom Farm Community Centre ahead of Remembrance Sunday. But it was a candid detail caught on camera about baby Archie that really caught our attention.
While chatting with three adorable tots, a crouched-down Duchess Meghan can be heard in the video adorably talking to one little girl in particular about their six-month old son who was presumably back home at Frogmore Cottage.
“Yes! Look at all your little teeth!” the Duchess says. “Archie just got two teeth, tiny ones right there!”
According to a report by Harper’s Bazaar, Duchess Meghan also spoke chatted to fellow mum Amy Thompson, whose husband Brad is attached to the Welsh Guards.
The two bonded over having children of the same age and the royal mum-of-one revealed another exciting parenting milestone that Archie has unlocked-crawling.
“My daughter Aeris is the same age as Archie and we talked about weaning and the children beginning to crawl—she’s just a normal mum and it was like talking to a friend,” Amy told the publication.
