Surprising way Meghan’s son Archie is following in Prince Philip’s footsteps

Little is known about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children outside of their royal families. Archie’s son, Archie, appears to be following in Prince Philip’s footsteps, just like his late great-grandpatern.

Archie, age five, and Lilibet, age two, are raised in California and are largely unconnected from King Charles and Prince William as a result of their parents’ separation from the royal family.

However, the late Duke would have been delighted by young Archie’s new hobby. The mother-of-two recalled some fond family memories, including a sweet anecdote about a fishing trip, in episode five of Meghan’s new Netflix series.

Meghan, 43, explained how Archie caught two trout while out fishing with her close friends Abigail Spencer and Kelly McKee Zajfen. Then, with her kids, she continued to say how she had “fun” salt baking the fish.

She told Abigail and Kelly, “I want them to have great formative memories of being there with me [in the kitchen].”

The late Prince Philip, who enjoyed relaxing on the River Dee in Balmoral and fished for salmon and trout, was also a huge fan of the enjoyable pastime.

He was known to spend hours in the water, sometimes stopping only to join the Queen and her guests for lunch or tea while wearing chest-high protective waders.

King Charles, who later taught William and Harry, how to fish, received Philip’s passion.

Archie’s only outdoor pastime is fishing, by no means. Harry revealed that he wanted to pass his passion for sport to his son Archie after he became interested in the sport during a video call with Ellery Hanley MBE, who was formerly the captain of the Wigan and Great Britain rugby league teams, in 2020.

The Duke of Sussex once remarked, “I need a few mini rugby balls so Archie can get involved in the game because there are no mini rugby balls available right now.”

However, we are very fortunate to have a small amount of space outside. I must also instruct him to play rugby league. But I am simply unbelievably fortunate and appreciative that my son can be outside.

Archie’s interest may also lead to a connection with Mike Tindall in the future, given that he has previously supported both the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League.

Former England rugby captain and host of the rugby-themed podcast The Good, The Bad &amp, The Rugby, the son-in-law of Princess Anne.

When the pair were both members of the Royal Family at the time, Mike and Prince Harry reportedly had a close relationship over rugby. However, it’s believed that the two men are no longer related because of Harry and Meghan’s repeated public criticism of the royal family.
