Another gushed: “Love that the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge are gracious and sweet enough to pass birthday wishes along to Archie.”

A third tweeted: “Thank you for always being classy, happy 3rd birthday to Archie.”

It’s believed members of the Royal Family haven’t seen much of Archie since Harry and Meghan moved to the United States.

In 2020, the family moved across the pond after Harry and Meghan quit their senior royal roles.

Last June, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their second child – a daughter called Lilibet Diana.

According to reports, the Queen hasn’t yet met her great-granddaughter.

Harry and Meghan visited Her Majesty ahead of her 96th birthday last month in Windosr just before they headed to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.

However, it’s believed they didn’t bring their children.

But a source claimed the couple reportedly reassured the Queen that she’ll see her great-grandchildren “in the near future”.

“They have made it clear they are certainly planning to return to see the Queen with their family in the near future.”
