Harry and Meghan release new picture of Archie on his second birthday

Harry and Meghan have released an adorable new picture of Archie on his second birthday.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared an image of Archie holding a huge bunch of balloons with his back to the camera.

In a joint statement on their Archewell foundation website, Harry and Meghan said: “We will not be able to truly recover until everyone, everywhere, has equal access to the vaccine.

“And with that intention, we are inviting you to contribute whatever you can – if you have the means to do so – to bring vaccines to families in the world’s most vulnerable places.

“For a donation of just 5 dollars, you can cover the cost of a dose for someone in need. And because we were able to secure matching support from a number of organizations, that $5 you give will automatically turn into 20 dollars – covering the cost of four doses.”

Birthday boy Archie is set to get some face time with the Queen, Prince William and Kate Middleton on his special day, an insider claims.

Senior royals are expected to put aside their rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for at least a few hours mark their son's special milestone.

The couple are living with Archie in a multimillion-pound luxury mansion in Montecito, California, where he will turn two today more than 5,000 miles away from his royal relatives in Britain.

The Sussexes are expected to celebrate the toddler's birthday with a Zoom call to his grandmother, the Queen, and a call with his aunt and uncle, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

While fans eagerly wait to see whether they Sussexes will release any special new photos of rarely seen Archie on his big day, his loved ones have already wished the youngster a happy birthday publicly.

The Queen, in a message on the official royal family Twitter account, accompanied by a photograph of her great-grandson with his parents days after he was born, said: "Wishing Archie Mountbatten-Windsor a very happy 2nd birthday today."
