Prince Archie will mark his birthday on May 6th, undoubtedly prompting curiosity among royal enthusiasts about how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s son will commemorate the occasion.
Although formal plans for Archie’s birthday haven’t been disclosed, if it’s anything akin to his fourth birthday, it will likely be a modest affair.
Last year, it was believed that he celebrated at his family’s lavish $14 million Montecito residence, joined by close friends, Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, and, of course, his baby sister Princess Lilibet.
Archie’s first birthday was showcased in the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan,” featuring him in his high chair adorned with confetti, donning a charming hat while enjoying a fruit-topped cake.
Meghan, who is known for her culinary skills, might well craft her son’s cake, considering her penchant for homemade treats like lemon olive oil cake, and her recent venture into the food industry with American Riviera Orchard, her lifestyle brand featuring jams.
Reports also mention Archie receiving a bike as a gift from his parents, personally delivered by the Mad Dogs & Englishmen Bike Shop in California.
Despite his London birth, Archie has celebrated all of his birthdays in the United States, where his parents have favored understated, relaxed birthday gatherings away from the limelight.
Prince Harry, for instance, celebrated his 39th birthday last September in Dusseldorf during his annual Invictus Games trip, enjoying a casual meal of Bratwurst sausage and local beer at the traditional German restaurant Schumacher Brewery.
Meanwhile, Meghan spent her 42nd birthday with an at-home party surrounded by her nearest and dearest and a movie night to see Barbie with Ellen DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi.
