The Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their son Archie Harrison's first birthday in a huge way on Wednesday – and it sounds so much fun!
May 07, 2020 - 16:08 BST Jenni McKnight The Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn't let lockdown stop them from celebrating their son Archie's first birthday on Wednesday. Meghan and Harry pulled out all the stops to make sure their little boy had a memorable day, despite him not being able to celebrate with friends and family.
A 'smash cake' is a huge trend in America, and sees children let loose with a giant cake as they tear it apart, usually while being photographed by their adoring parents. According to People magazine, Meghan and Harry bought one for their son – fingers crossed those photos will be shared soon! The doting parents are also said to have enjoyed Zoom calls with friends and family; perhaps his cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis got the chance to send their best wishes.
Harry and Meghan treated royal fans to a new video of their son on Wednesday as they publicly marked his birthday. The young tot hadn't been seen since New Year's Eve 2019, so his appearance was a welcomed return. The couple shared a special video posted on Save the Children's Instagram page, which shows Meghan reading one of her son's favourite books, Duck! Rabbit!, as they relax at home.
The Sussexes were taking part in the charity's Save the Stories campaign in the UK and the US, which helps bring much-needed support to children who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, all funds raised will benefit Save the Children UK. The charity has put in place an emergency grants programme to make sure the most vulnerable families can purchase basic items and food.
