Netizens are swooning over Prince Archie’s height in the endearing new photo his mom shared of a sweet family moment between him, her, and his little sister, who the public raved about as well.
Yesterday, March 24, 2025, the Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram with a beautiful photo of her, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, on her As Ever page. The heartfelt snap of the trio had netizens marveling at how tall Archie has gotten, with some expressing how he will soon be taller than his mom. In addition to Archie, others also swooned over Lilibet.
Nestled within a sun-dappled garden, the tender family moment captured speaks volumes about love, connection, and the quiet beauty of motherhood. With her back to the camera, Meghan stands gracefully, cradling Lilibet on her hip while Archie clings affectionately to her leg.
The soft folds of her crisp white shirt and relaxed denim complement the effortless elegance she exudes, while a wide-brimmed straw hat shields her face — allowing the image to focus not on the celebrity, but on the unspoken warmth between a mother and her children.
Lilibet, perched securely in her mother’s arms, mirrors Meghan’s style in an earth-toned outfit and a delicate woven hat, her tiny fingers grasping the handle of a basket.
Meanwhile, Archie, dressed in a cozy dark ensemble including a long-sleeved shirt and gray jeans, leans into his mother’s side. His signature red hair caught the sunlight as he wrapped his arms around Meghan.
The rustic stone wall in front of them, the lush greenery, and the soft pink blossoms overhead create a picture-perfect setting — one that feels as intimate as it does timeless.
Accompanying the heartwarming snapshot, Meghan captioned the post, “Every day is a love story 🕊️” — a simple yet profound reflection of the moment. The scene encapsulates the purity of familial love, making it easy to see why the post resonated so deeply with those who saw it.
Many netizens couldn’t help but marvel at Archie’s noticeable growth spurt, with one person opining, “archie is gonna be as tall as harry by christmas 🤧🤧🤧 [sic]” while another noted, “Archie has gotten so tall and in no time he will already tower over his mama […] 💕.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one observer pointing out, “Archie already looks half Meghan’s height!” and someone else further emphasizing the point.
The discussion continued, with yet another commenter marveling at Archie’s incredible stature. The overwhelming consensus was clear — Archie is growing up fast, and many believe it won’t be long before he stands taller than his mom.
Beyond just his height, fans also took note of Archie’s inherited family traits, with one supporter gushing, “Awwww look at Meghan with her two little Sussex kids. Archie is so tall he got the Spencer long legs of his grandmother. And Lilly Diana away her blondish red hair. So much love 💖💖💖😚 [sic].”
Aside from marveling at Archie’s height, many admirers also showered both him and his little sister with praise concerning how adorable they are. In response to Meghan’s post, one fan commented, “So beautiful we love you Meghan, with the prettiest kids in the world😍😍😍😍😍[sic].”
After noticing the children’s hair, someone compared their locks to that of their father Prince Harry’s, remarking, “I love that they have their dad’s red hair,” while another person noted, “Wow look at the red hair. How adorable.” A fellow admirer reiterated, “What beautiful red hair they have.”
Another added, “Man that red hair runs strong in those genes lol.” Defending Meghan’s son against critics, a fan stated, “Archie is gorgeous. You could tell by the other pics of his profile. That burgundy color is stunning. Lord Bless this beautiful family and scald the eyes of the haters. Amen.”
Continuing with the comparisons, one person exclaimed, “They look nothing like her! Like nothing!” Meanwhile, another netizen described the children as “Really cute kids.”
The candid snapshot offered fans a rare and heartfelt glimpse into Meghan’s family life and sparked warm reactions from her followers who appreciated the touching moment.
As previously reported, the Duchess of Sussex welcomed the first day of spring with a rare photo of Lilibet — but it wasn’t the strawberries in the foreground that had netizens buzzing; it was a small detail in the background.
Shared to her Instagram page on March 21, Meghan’s image shows the little princess carrying a basket of strawberries outdoors with her little feet poking out just beneath the container.
“Cheers to the first day of spring!” Meghan captioned alongside the post. In the background, a foot believed to belong to Archie can also be seen behind his sister. However, while the photo doesn’t show any faces, it quickly captured attention for another reason — Lilibet’s feet.
When one person asked what was so weird about the post that had everyone talking, another person shared, “The feet and body don’t match up.” Another netizen commented in part, “Look at the feet UNDER the strawberry basket. They do not appear attached to the body holding the basket.”
A third person typed, “Weird feet under the strawberry container,” while a fourth added, “yep [sic], totally photoshopped as the feet are facing the wrong way.”
More netizens questioned the image, pointing out that the visible feet and body shape didn’t appear to match what they expected from children Lilibet and Archie’s ages. Others speculated that the kids looked older than they actually are, with a few asking why such ambiguous photos were shared at all.
This was not the first time the royal couple’s children had been at the center of attention due to their appearance. In early March, Meghan shared a compilation video of a family baking session with Harry and their children.
However, netizens were quick to comment on the changing appearances of both Archie and Lilibet, particularly their hair and size.
In the caption of the post, Meghan wrote, “When making thumbprint cookies at home becomes a family affair! Thanks @_heartmom_ & @clarewaightkeller for the love and extra set of hands! ❤️.”
In the video, a girl who appears to be Lilibet wears purple pants and a headband as she stands on a step stool to participate. Toward the end of the montage, Meghan is seen kissing her son on the head. The family’s dog, Pula, also makes a brief appearance, licking her lips as a mixer whirs on the counter.
Meghan also invited some friends to join the baking session, including Kelly McKee Zajfen, founder of Alliance of Moms, and Clare Waight Keller, the designer behind her 2018 royal wedding gown.
The thumbprint cookies Meghan, her family, and friends made looked delightful, with golden, buttery dough cradling a glossy center of vibrant red jam.
Their neatly pressed shapes and rich color made them a visually appealing treat. The Duchess of Sussex appeared to use her signature raspberry jam for the homemade treats.
The public reacted to Meghan’s clip, with most comments about Archie and Lilibet’s appearance. One person was skeptical, writing, “This is not Archie. This child looks small for a 5 year old [sic]. Fake.” Another individual noticed inconsistencies, commenting, “He looks different in every photo.”
Curiosity about their sizes also surfaced, with someone asking, “Wonder why the girl looked bigger than the boy.” Another person with doubts stated, “That does not look like a 3 year old girl or 5 years old boy [sic].” Yet another spectator speculated, “Photoshopped these are different child [sic] every time!”
