Archie Looks Identical to Mom Meghan Markle in Side-by-Side Childhood Pics

We’ve always known that Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is the spitting image of his dad, Prince Harry. But we never realized how much the 2-year-old looks like his mom, Meghan Markle…until now.

It all started when a royal fan (@troubleshade) posted two rare side-by-side photos on Twitter. According to Hello! magazine, the photo on the left was taken when Markle was about 6 months old. It shows her smiling at the camera with a toothy grin while sporting a curly head of hair. As the outlet points out, the duchess is sitting “on the lap of her half-sister, Samantha Markle.”

On the right, there’s a photo of Archie, who bears a striking resemblance to his mom. Not only does he have the same hairstyle, but he also has the same deep-set eyes and gummy smile.

Of course, royal aficionados flooded the comments section with their honest opinions. The majority agreed with the similarities between Markle and Archie, writing, “I have always said that Archie looks like his mother from the 1st time we saw him at the photo call. He’s a mini-Meghan with his curly and wavy hair.”

“I have to admit he’s leaning closer to Meghan lately,” another commented. Someone else added, “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.”

However, others weren’t afraid to mention the child’s likeness to Prince Harry, writing, “With his hair out he looks like Meg, but with a hat on, he’s [a spitting] image of Harry.”

So, which parent will Archie resemble more? Only time will tell.
