Prince Charles finally meets baby Archie at Meghan and Harry's Frogmore Cottage

Prince Charles is finally meeting baby Archie nearly two weeks after his grandson was born.

Little Archie was born at 5.26am on Monday May 6 with an excited Prince Harry breaking the news to the world at around 2.40pm.

Meghan Markle and Harry then showed their baby to the cameras two days later, saying he was their little 'bundle of joy'.

According to Hello magazine , Prince Charles was due to meet Archie this evening at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Frogmore Cottage home.

It is not known if Camilla was with him for the visit in Windsor.

The Prince of Wales said last week he was "delighted" about the birth of his fourth grandson.
