Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie, turns one on May 6, and Queen Elizabeth II celebrated with a Twitter message from the official Royal Family account. “Happy Birthday to Archie Mountbatten-Windsor who is celebrating his first birthday today,” the message read, along with a balloon emoji. “Archie is the Queen’s eighth great-grandchild.” In addition to the message, there was a throwback photo — WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE — of Meghan introducing Archie to the Queen, Prince Philip and Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, with Prince Harry looking on.
Fans were wondering if the Queen would publicly recognize Archie’s birthday following Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down as seniors of the Royal Family earlier this year.
