It’s believed the young Meghan, now 39, was sitting on the lap of her half-sister Samantha Markle in the snap, with royal fans saying that the mum and son duo definitely look alike.

Many fans pointed out that they had the “same smile” while one agreed: “Yes very much like Meghan, handsome!”

“I have always said that Archie looks like his mother from the first time we saw him at the photo-call,” one eagle-eyed fan wrote. “He’s a mini-Meghan with his curly and wavy hair.”

Another wrote: “I think he is changing from Harry to Meghan’s faces at the moment. I can’t wait to see which face will finally stick.”

While someone else shared: “He looks like both parents now.”

The new clips shared by Harry last week offer a glimpse of what the two-year-old looks like now.

Colour footage of Archie and his parents, Meghan and Harry, playing on the beach was shown in Harry’s Apple TV documentary series, which fans first saw in black and white during the couple’s explosive Oprah Winfrey chat.

This comes just after Harry and Meghan released a new photo of Archie for his second birthday, however, fans were disappointed that he had his back turned to the camera while holding balloons.

In the documentary, there’s also a shot of Archie sitting on his mum’s lap while isolating in their LA mansion, which was taken at the time of his first birthday last year.

This also marks the last time Archie was properly shown on camera, with the toddler’s face in every photo since then being hidden.

Also in the interview, Prince Harry revealed how sad he was that Archie will never get to meet his late grandmother, Princess Diana.

He also claimed that ‘Grandma Diana’ were among the young tot’s first words – in addition to crocodile and hydrate.

The Duke of Sussex said: “I got a photo of her in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said – apart from ‘mama,’ ‘papa,’ it was then ‘grandma’. Grandma Diana.

“It’s the sweetest thing, but at the same time, it makes me really sad because she should be here.”
