- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son Archie spoke to Prince Charles and the Queen to celebrate Harry's birthday.
- Archie "delighted" Prince Charles by calling him "Pa."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently living in California after stepping down from official royal duties over in England—and thanks to the pandemic, they haven't been able to visit Harry's family. But! The Duke and Duchess have made sure their son Archie is keeping in touch with the royals, and apparently he celebrated Harry's recent birthday on a Zoom call with Prince Charles.
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, Archie chatted with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles on a special call and "delighted" Charles by calling him "Pa."
“It was very pleasant," the source said. "Harry told the family how much he missed them. Meghan baked a cake and Harry blew out candles. Archie made them laugh when he also blew them out.”
This sounds incredibly sweet, but if you're wondering whether Prince William and Kate Middleton were also on the call, the answer appears to be no—with the source saying, “It was a bit awkward that William and Kate weren’t there.”
Before you scream "ROYAL FEUD" at your computer/phone, Meghan and Harry were actually planning to spend the summer vacationing with the royals—including William and Kate—in Balmoral, and Harry was "upset" to have missed out on the trip due to the pandemic. In other words, if they were about to vacation together, we can probably assume all is well-ish!
