New photos of baby Archie Harrison, the first-born son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been released following his baptism last Saturday, July 6. However, fans can't seem to pick whom the baby closely resembles from his parents.
Royal photographer Chris Allerton released two sets of photo for baby Archie's baptism, which were highlighted on the Sussex Royal Instagram page. The first photo was in black and white, which featured a close-up of little Archie's face. In his mother's arms, Archie looked content while his dad looked on.
The second photo, on the other hand, featured the immediate family with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex posing with the baby, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, Meghan's mother Doria Ragland and two of Princess Diana's sisters Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes.
Fans think that Archie is the spitting image of his father as a little boy, especially the nose. However, some royal watchers think that the baby has his mother's mouth.
"Archie is the perfect mixture of both his parents," one fan noted, according to News Corp Australia. They say the baby has his mother's eyes but he likely his has daddy's hair as well.
Royal followers believe that Archie may be a red-head, just like Prince Harry. Since he's still a balding little child, it's still too early to tell if he'll have ginger red hair when he's older.
However, some fans also think that Archie resembles his grandfather, Thomas Markle, who was not invited to the baptism. In an interview with Daily Mail, Thomas said that he would have enjoyed being at this special occasion had he been asked.
"I was an altar boy at age 12, a confirmed member of the Queen's church at age 14, and Archie is my new grandson," Thomas said. "So, of course, I would have enjoyed being there for the blessing, wishing Archie and his parent's health and happiness."
It's not a secret that Meghan's relationship with her dad has-beens strained, especially after his paparazzi stunts before her wedding to Prince Harry. Thomas alleged that since then, he had heard nothing from his daughter except silence.
Meanwhile, Archie's baptism reportedly had 25 guests only while great grandparents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip were not in attendance as they are currently staying in Scotland. Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, performed the baptism using water from the River Jordan.
