In 2020, there were only two sightings of the little royal – on his birthday in May, and in the Sussexes’ Christmas card in December.
However, in 2021, a few more glimpses of Archie were shared, including some intimate home footage during Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Recently, rare pictures of Archie and his sister Lilibet were released in the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, giving us a rare glimpse into their private lives.

In June 2021, the couple’s spokesperson also shared that Archie was delighted to have a little sister, telling PEOPLE that he “is very happy to have a little sister.”
It wasn’t until Christmas of that year that the couple released the first official photo of Lilibet in the form of a holiday card, taken by Alexi Lubomirski.
