According to the prince, as soon as he told William, the heir to the throne smiled and said “we must tell Kate”.

The duke wrote about the Princess of Wales’s reaction: “She also gave a big smile and hearty congratulations. They both reacted exactly as I hoped – as I’d wished.”

Harry also revealed that King Charles was “delighted” when he and Meghan told him the joyous news.

He wrote: “Just before a drink reception for the bride and groom, we cornered Pa in his study.

“He was delighted to learn that he was going to be a grandfather for a fourth time; his wide smile warmed me.”

Prince Archie was born on May 6, 2019 at the Portland Hospital in London.

Since then, Harry and Meghan have welcomed a second child, Princess Lilibet, who was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, on June 4, 2021.
