Archie’s Fourth Birthday Coincides with King Charles III’s Coronation

Archie, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, celebrated his fourth birthday on May 6th, which interestingly coincided with the official coronation of King Charles III.

However, amidst the joyous occasion, controversy arose when Misan Hariman, a renowned photographer and close friend of the couple, seemingly shaded the royal family with a birthday post.

Hariman took to social media to share a screengrab from Harry and Markle's Netflix reality series, featuring a baby Archie touching a photo of his late grandmother, Princess Diana.

Accompanying the image, Hariman captioned, “Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Archie,” subtly pointing out the timing of the young prince's birthday alongside Charles's coronation.

This recent post by Hariman rekindled previous suspicions surrounding the authenticity of Archie's photos.

Last year, netizens speculated that some of his images had been photoshopped.

Allegations even surfaced suggesting that Meghan had faked Archie's birth and used a surrogate.

One particular photo, circulating online and believed to be of baby Archie, was later proven to be fake.

This raised further doubts about Archie's existence and whereabouts, as Meghan and Harry rarely shared pictures of him.

While the Royal Family has confirmed Archie's existence, they have chosen to keep additional information about him private.

This lack of transparency has fueled speculation and curiosity among the public.

In another peculiar incident, rumors circulated about a CNN reporter, who is a friend of Meghan, allegedly using her own child for a video clip during the interview with Oprah Winfrey.

However, a photo of the reporter with her family, including her son Gavin, surfaced, leading some to remark on the child's resemblance to Archie.

Interestingly, Hariman himself previously admitted to photoshopping Harry and Meghan's pregnancy photo by adding the tree of life.

He also took a birthday portrait of Archie's sister, Lilibet, last year.

However, these images were later exposed as fake by eagle-eyed Royal fans.

Hariman, who attended the couple's wedding in May 2018, shared his role in bringing Harry and Meghan together.

Speaking about the pregnancy shoot, he expressed his gratitude for being able to capture their joy after their heartbreaking loss.

While discussing the image, Hariman mentioned the symbolic elements behind it, such as the tree of life representing fertility and the garden signifying moving forward in life.

Notably, the willow tree featured in the image was revealed to be superimposed by Hariman himself.

In the biography “Finding Freedom” by Omid Scobie, a journalist and friend of Meghan and Harry, it is mentioned that Hariman even had dinner with Meghan the night before her first date with Harry.

Confirming the news of Meghan's pregnancy, a spokesperson for the Sussexes highlighted their close friendship with Hariman and credited him for capturing the photograph.

It remains unknown whether Hariman has had the opportunity to visit the couple's California home in person.

As Archie celebrates his fourth birthday, the controversy surrounding his photos continues to intrigue and captivate the public's attention.

The ongoing speculation and doubts surrounding his existence only add to the mystery that shrouds this young prince's life.
