Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie looks just like his dad

Fans of the royal family couldn't help but notice how much Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie looks like his father during the baby's first royal engagement.

The four-month-old visited the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town, South Africa, on Wednesday alongside the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Photographs and video released of the meeting shocked fans as many said Archie was the spitting image of his father as a child.

One Twitter user said: "Omg, Archie looks just like harry!!! Even his right ears sticks out a little bit more than the left, just like Harry’s baby photos. So cute."

Another tweeted: "Little Archie is most sweet tempered baby ever. He's just like mom and dad in that respect. He's the image of Harry (I see red hair!) with Meghan's eyes."

A royal fan added: "Archie is the sweetest doppelganger of Prince Harry ever! Wouldn't it be grand if they choose to have another? A sweet little doppelganger of Princess Meghan."

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor received a welcome kiss from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and posed for a picture together.

He made an impression with the Archbishop's daughter who joked the young royal favoured "ladies better" when she caught him glancing in her direction, the Mirror reports .

The royal baby, who has only been seen twice in public since his birth, stole the show after the couple posted a video to their official Instagram account.

Proud parents Harry and Meghan told the retired Archbishop how their son was very active and seemed to understand much of what was going on despite his age.

The 87-year-old and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe, spent half an hour with the couple and Archie at the historic premises - a restored centuries-old edifice built by slaves.
