It’s been a crazy decade for the Duchess of Sussex — she landed a starring role on Suits, met and married her husband Prince Harry, joined the royal family, gave birth to baby Archie, and left the royal family to relocate part-time back home to sunny California. To say Meghan, Harry, and Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor’s lives have been a whirlwind would be an understatement, but no one handles tough times with more grace than the Sussex family, and we’re looking back at all their best family photos since lil’ Archie came around.
Meghan and Harry are one of the most glamorous royal couples we’ve ever seen, and they’ve had their share of heart-stopping moments since stepping into the royal spotlight. With baby Archie joining the family, they went from power couple to proud parents, with Archie’s big baby eyes and wiggly baby feet melting everything in his path. With their move back to Los Angeles and rededication to nonprofit work, their family values are shining through more than ever — and Meghan, Harry, and Archie are simply glowing with happiness.
Here are all the best family photos of Meghan, Harry, and royal baby Archie.
