As part of his birthday celebrations last week, it's believed Prince Harry had a nice old natter with some of his family members over Zoom – and apparently his little one, Archie, couldn't help but get involved too. It's believed he's now talking more than ever and even has a sweet nickname for his grandfather, Prince Charles.
According to an article published by The Scottish Sun, Charles, The Duke of Cornwall, was left "delighted" when Archie popped up during a video call between Harry, Meghan, himself and The Queen, and the youngster referred to him as "pa" (short for 'Grandpa'). How cute! During the same call, Harry then apparently blew out some candles on a cake made by Meghan.
A source said of the virtual get-together, "It was very pleasant. Harry told the family how much he missed them. Meghan baked a cake and Harry blew out candles." They added that the youngest royal then stepped in to help his dad and somewhat stole the show: "Archie made them laugh when he also blew [the candles] out." Given that Harry and Meghan are known to be very family-orientated, this sounds like the perfect way for the Duke of Sussex to celebrate turning 36.

It definitely sounds like the one-year-old is increasingly becoming quite the chatterbox as he grows up – earlier this year, a source commented that "he's saying a few words, like 'Dada,' 'Mama,' 'book,' and 'dog,'." They also shared that he loves playing hide-and-seek and using building blocks. New reports also say that The Queen is an especially big fan of Harry and Meghan's only child, and that she loves checking in with the family through video calls, and commented on the tot's "red streak of hair".
Since stepping away from their senior royal roles, The Sussexes have set up home in Montecito, which is located a little over an hour outside of LA. They've also signed a major deal with Netflix, with plans to create thought-provoking content through the streaming platform, which aligns with the causes they're most passionate about, such as gender equality and the environment.
Given that they made the decision to leave royal life behind in search of more privacy, it's highly unlikely that Meghan an Harry will be appearing in front of the camera for said TV projects, but we can dream. Right? Just imagine if they stepped up to the plate following the end of Keeping Up With The Kardashians to become the new reality family du jour. Keeping Up With The Sussexes has a real ring to it...
