Rare Glimpse of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor Shared on Social Media

Little has been seen of three-year-old Archie Mountbatten-Windsor since Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, stepped back from the British Royal Family when he was just eight months old.

However, a recent photo from a video call has given royal fans a long-awaited glimpse of the Sussex's oldest child.

During the video call, little Archie was seen alongside his mother Meghan and grandmother Dory Ragland.

The call was with Jotaka Ede, the CEO of social impact consulting firm Full Circle Strategies, and also reportedly included American political strategist Donna Brazile and American studies professor Duchess Harris.

Later, Duchess Harris shared the image on social media, likely with the approval of the Duchess of Sussex.

This rare sighting of Archie comes after he has been kept out of the public eye since moving to the U.S. All that has been seen of him are side-on shots and back-of-the-head photos, which have highlighted his striking resemblance to his father, the Duke of Sussex.

The timing of this photo has sparked speculation about its strategic release.

On the same day the image was shared, Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, arrived in the U.S. for a trip to promote the prince's environmental prize.

This marks their first overseas excursion since the passing of Queen Elizabeth in September, which resulted in William becoming heir to the throne.

There had been speculation about whether they would visit Prince Harry and Meghan during their trip, but their paths will not cross.

Both couples will be attending award ceremonies in Boston and New York, but their visits will be separated by a few days.

Pierre Ford, the entertainment editor of a morning show, commented on the timing of the photo, suggesting that some people find it suspicious.

He questioned whether it was an attempt to steal the spotlight, considering that William and Catherine are currently in the States.

This speculation has sparked discussion among viewers, and their thoughts are being shared in the comments section.

This glimpse of Archie has certainly ignited interest and curiosity among royal enthusiasts.

As we eagerly await more news about the royal family, stay tuned for further updates.
