Prince Harry just shared a never before seen photo of himself and baby Archie

This is lovely.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison, in May this year. And since his arrival, it's safe to say that the miniature royal has become the most talked-about child on the planet.

From his nursery colour palette and nanny choices to his rumoured God parents and travel plans, this little six-month-old is more talked about than the movie stars.

But unlike A-listers, this royal is rarely seen. Baby Archie, like most young royals, is enjoying an upbringing out of the spotlight, making only a few official appearances, one of which occurred on the Sussex family's recent tour of Africa where the newborn met Desmond Tutu. Setting the bar high there, Archie.

It's hardly surprising therefore that when his parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, post a photo of him, the internet is sent into a frenzy, something that happened just this morning.

The Duke of Sussex took to the Sussex Royal Instagram today to celebrate his dad Prince Charles' birthday, marking the occasion with a sweet never before seen snap of Prince Harry, Prince Charles and baby Archie behind the scenes of his recent Christening.

'Happy birthday to His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales - Sir, Pa, Grandpa!', read the caption.

Well, this is lovely.
