Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor: A Rare Glimpse of the Three-Year-Old

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have kept their son, Archie, out of the public eye since his birth in May 2019.

However, a leaked photo has surfaced on Twitter showing the three-year-old sitting on Meghan's lap with his grandmother, Doria Ragland.

While some royal fans were delighted to catch a glimpse of Archie, others strongly suspect that the child in the photo is not him.

One fan pointed out that the child looked scared and miserable, and that his appearance had changed significantly from previous photos.

Another fan speculated that the photo had been heavily photoshopped, citing a light reflection on the screen that was not captured in the screenshot.

Some even suggested that the child was adopted and bore no resemblance to either parent.

Royal expert Neil Sean questioned the authenticity of the photo, asking whether we were supposed to believe that it was actually Archie.

He also suggested that Meghan's decision to release the photo may have been an attempt to upstage Prince William and Catherine's trip to the United States.

Last month, it was reported that Meghan had turned down Catherine's request to take the first photos of Archie.

According to Sean, Catherine had offered to take a personal picture of the newborn, but Meghan turned down the opportunity flat.

It is unclear why Meghan refused Catherine's offer, but Sean lauded Catherine for her warm and generous nature.

In addition to the photo controversy, reports emerged that Prince Harry had refused to facilitate any calls to King Charles on the day of the monarch's birthday.

While Prince William and Catherine's children spoiled King Charles with gifts and phone calls, Archie and Lilibet were not patched through.

This decision reportedly cast a shadow over the celebrations for the rest of the day.

The source believes that Prince Harry's removal as a councillor of state added to the tension between the Sussexes and the royal family.

The Sussexes may have decided to play hardball with King Charles, who reportedly wishes he had a closer relationship with his American grandchildren.

Some wonder whether the Sussexes will ever allow the king to see the children again.

Despite the controversy surrounding Archie's photo, a large number of Americans warmly welcomed Prince William and Catherine during their visit to the United States.

Fans waited in the rain to catch a glimpse of their favourite royals.

In conclusion, while the leaked photo of Archie provided a rare glimpse of the three-year-old, it also sparked controversy among royal fans.

Meghan's decision to release the photo and her refusal to allow Catherine to take the first photos of Archie have raised questions about her motives and her relationship with the royal family.

The tension between the Sussexes and the royals shows no signs of abating, leaving many wondering what the future holds for this fractured family.
