Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s son Archie is already trying to talk. The question now is what the youngest royal's first word will be.
Although Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born in May 2019, palace sources say that he has the skills and alertness of an older, very confident child. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently traveled to the continent of Africa with the precocious infant. While there, he met former Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as well as a host of other important people. Royal watchers were given their first up-close glimpses of Archie during the trip, but now, his rapid development is the latest good news from the Royals.
A source recently told Us Weekly, “He’s a strong baby and you can tell he’s super smart. He can sit up without support and roll over, and he’s almost crawling. He can’t talk yet, but he’s trying!” There's even been some speculation that Archie's first word could be "Dada" as opposed to "Mama," given his excitement around Prince Harry. From the announcement of his birth, it was clear that Harry would be a doting dad. After all, it was he who made the announcement to the press that his son had arrived. Not only that, but when Harry and Meghan showed off their little one to the world for the first time, Harry was the one carrying the newborn. The source added,“When Harry walks into the room, Archie gets so excited, he puts his arms out — his way of saying, ‘Pick me up!’ You can tell Archie’s going to be a social butterfly. He’s at his happiest when he’s around people.”
Sure, it may be simple good luck that Harry and Meghan are parents to such a well-adjusted and gifted baby, but there's a bigger picture that informs Archie's talkative nature and winning personality. Taurus children like Archie are known for their willful natures. Those born under this sign are said to enjoy social situations and make friends quite easily. According to Us Weekly, Archie enjoys being held by his parents' friends, which demonstrates an ease in social settings. Taurus children are also known for their enjoyment of the outdoors. This could be the perfect explanation for Archie's ability to travel with his mom and dad, without being too fussy. Finally, kids born under the sign of Taurus are especially prone to a heightened sensory awareness, so Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should delight in speaking with their son as much as possible, to stimulate his mind and social skills.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are lucky to have such a well-adjusted baby at home, given their dedication to charitable activities and public life. In a short time, Archie has not only captivated his parents, but has won-over the public with his adorable smile and similarity to his parents. While it's not unusual for a baby to demonstrate an eagerness to talk at an early age, it's fascinating to think that Archie could be a fast learner. Americans and Brits alike are wildly excited about this little one, and can't wait to hear the tone of his voice, as well as what his first words will be when finally spoken.
