Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born at 5:26am on 6 May and it’s clear that Harry – who has gone straight back to work – has been doing a LOT of reading about newborn life.
During a visit to Oxford’s Children Hospital he chatted with mum-of-two Amy Scullard and her 10-week-old daughter Ida.
Harry thoughtfully asked Amy if her baby daughter “was over the stormy period, as babies are supposed be grumpy for the first ten weeks.” (Apparently Ida is!)
During another engagement, the new dad was again quizzed about family life. Visiting Barton Neighbourhood Centre, Fatma Sheikh chatted to Harry. Fatma later told Hello! magazine that they’d spoken about both Meghan and Archie’s postpartum progress.
“I asked him how Archie was and he said ‘he is doing well’. I asked him if Meghan was well and he said ‘yes, she is fine.'”
Harry told Oxford school children who presented him with cards and posters “when I’m awake at 4 o’clock in the morning I’ll read all these!”
During the family’s first public photocall last week, the new parents shared more about baby Archie.
“He has the sweetest temperament, he’s really calm. He’s been the dream,” Meghan said.
“I don’t know who he gets that from,” Harry returned. “It’s great. Parenting is amazing. It’s only been two and a half days, three days, but we’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy.”
“It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy,” Meghan summed-up.
