Prince Harry's first-born son Archie Harrison has not yet started talking. An expert, however, predicted that he will have an American accent just like his mother Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
According to didactic expert Jennifer Dorman, Archie could develop either an American or Canadian accent when he begins to speak in the next few months. Dorman said that the baby is now at an age where he can acutely listen and focus on the sounds around his environment.
Since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently staying in Vancouver, Dornan said that baby Archie might also adapt to a variety of Canadian English. The baby may also possibly learn a "recognizable" American accent as he's in the care of relatives or friends of the family in the U.S. or Canada, or he begins interacting with his Canadian playmates.
It will be years before Archie actually enters formal schooling but in his brief time in London, his mother brought him to playdates and other baby classes. It's likely that the Duchess of Sussex is also doing the same thing for her son while they live in Vancouver.
Archie may also pick up on the American accent as he spends time with his grandmother, Doria Ragland, Meghan's mom. According to Daily Express, the baby was likely with Doria when Prince Harry and Meghan made a brief visit to the United States this month.
Prince Harry had a speaking engagement with JP Morgan in Miami in early February. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also in Stanford in Palo Alto to brainstorm with experts on their upcoming projects.
Stanford is an hour and 20 minutes off Los Angeles, where Doria is based. Daily Express speculated that Prince Harry and Meghan left their son to the duchess' mother's care while they headed off to their meetings.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan are expected to be back in London this coming March for Commonwealth Day. They were requested to be present by Queen Elizabeth and it is understood that Archie will be coming along as well.
The visit will be the last of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's official royal duties before they will officially step back as working members of the royal family. The Sussex royals intend to spend most of their time in North America and have, in fact, closed down their office in Buckingham Palace as part of their shift to private life.
