The adorable name Prince Harry's son Archie calls him after rare Christmas snap

What Prince Harry’s son Harry refers to him as has been revealed.

People went wild over Harry and wife Meghan Markle’s Christmas card last week, which had an adorable family photo on it.

It was the first picture of daughter Lilibet, who was born in June and offered a rare glimpse of their two-year-old son, Archie.

The 2021 Christmas card had a message from Harry and Meghan that wished people a ‘Happy Holidays’.

However, it also revealed what Archie calls his father, and it’s not ‘dad’ or ‘daddy’.

In the card, the couple wrote: "This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’, and Lili made us a family."

Papa seems to be a common term within the royal family, with Harry himself having called Prince Charles ‘Pa’, the shortened version of Papa, in the past.

When Prince Philip passed away in April, Charles referred to him as “dear papa”.

The photo on the Christmas card was taken during the summer by photographer Alexi Lubomirski at Harry and Meghan's home in California.

When it was released last week, many fans pointed out that Archie had gorgeous red hair, like his father.

One wrote on Twitter : "Look at Archie! Adorable. Looks like Lilibet will have red hair too. Beautiful."

Another said: "OMG Archie's hair is making my day."

Others pointed out that Lilibet had her mother’s nose.

One said: "Lili has Meghan's nose."

While another said: "Archie’s red hair and curls and Lili looking cute as ever with her mama’s nose!"
