Prepare To Melt: Archie Harrison Has Red Hair, Just Like His Dad

The three-month-old is growing up - by Isabelle Truman

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are about to embark on their first royal tour with their baby boy, Archie Harrison, in tow. The parents announced in June that they are taking their three-month-old son along with them on an official trip to visit to South Africa, Malawi, Angola and Botswana during autumn (which falls between Monday, September 23 and Sunday, December 22 in the Northern Hemisphere).

Prepare To Melt: Archie Harrison Has Red Hair, Just Like His Dad

And it appears the next time we see baby Archie he might have a head of red hair just like his father. A source has told PEOPLE that the little royal is a “happy baby” and that he “has lovely, puffy little legs and tufts of reddish hair. He’s really adorable.”

This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Back when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex first introduced Archie to the world two days after his birth, the new parents weren't sure which of them he resembled more. “We’re still trying to figure that out,” Meghan said. Since then, we've only had small glimpses at George, Charlotte and Louis' cousin at his christening and when Meghan and Kate took their children to watch Harry and William play polo.

Here's hoping the Royal Tour of South Africa comes sooner rather than later - we need to see that red hair for ourselves.
