Meghan Markle is choosing happiness and positivity instead of getting caught up in drama as she celebrates her son Archie’s 6th birthday. Even though there’s been fresh tension within the royal family and ongoing issues with Prince Harry’s security arrangements in the U.K., Meghan is focused on what really matters—her family.
On May 6, Meghan posted a sweet message on Instagram to honor Archie, calling him their “sun.” She shared a peaceful photo of Archie in cozy pajamas, gazing out at the sunrise over the water—a calm, tender moment. She wrote, “Our son. Our sun. Happy 6th birthday to Archie! Thank you so much for all the love, prayers, and kind wishes for our sweet boy. He’s six now!”
Meghan also thanked everyone who came to Archie’s birthday party over the weekend, describing the celebration as “incredibly special.” This happy post comes just days after Prince Harry opened up about how upset he is after losing a court battle over security for his family in the U.K.
Harry said in an interview on May 2 that, given the current situation, he can’t imagine bringing Meghan and their children back to the U.K. anytime soon. He expressed concerns about their safety, especially with the ongoing tension between him and his father, King Charles III. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Harry lost their government-funded security, which has made things more complicated.
Even though there’s been some distance from the royal family—Archie’s birthday wasn’t even acknowledged publicly last year—Meghan has been slowly sharing glimpses of her family life. But she still protects her children’s privacy by not showing their faces on social media. Just a few days before Archie’s birthday, on May 3, she shared a beautiful black-and-white photo of Harry walking with their kids—Lilibet perched on his shoulders and Archie holding his hand—with no caption, just a quiet moment captured.
In a recent podcast on April 28, Meghan talked warmly about their family journey. She said, “That man loves me so much. And look at what we’ve built. We’ve built a beautiful life and we have two healthy, beautiful children.”
While Prince Harry is still dealing with legal battles and the emotional weight of being far from his homeland, Meghan is focusing on the bright moments—cherishing family milestones with gratitude and love. As Archie turns six, Meghan’s celebration sends a strong, clear message: no matter the drama or the headlines, joy and resilience come first.
