New photo of baby Archie shared to wish Prince Harry a happy Father’s Day

Ah, stop.

A new, never-before-seen, probably taken over the past few days photo of baby Archie has been shared to mark Father’s Day.

The photo, posted on Meghan and Harry’s Sussex Royal Instagram account this afternoon, shows the newborn holding his Dad’s finger while staring intently at the camera.

Archie is wearing a baby grow that appears to have a selection of farm animals on it, just to make the photo that bit cuter.

“Happy Father’s Day!” reads the post. “And wishing a very special first Father’s Day to The Duke of Sussex.”

Meghan and Harry welcomed their first child last month on May 6 at the Portland Hospital in London.

At the time, Harry said that his son was “a bit overdue” but otherwise “perfect.” Archie’s name was officially announced two days later on May 8. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also shared an image of the newborn’s feet poking out from under a blanket in honour of Mother’s Day in the US – and Meghan Markle’s first as a mum.

“Paying tribute to all mothers today – past, present, mothers-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered. We honour and celebrate each and every one of you,” the caption reads.

“This is the first Mother’s Day for The Duchess of Sussex.”

The Sussex’s also shared a quote from ‘lands’, a poem by Nayyirah Waheed.

“my
mother
was
my first country;
the first place i ever lived.”
