Your child meeting their newborn sibling for the first time is one of the most treasured moments in a parent's life - it's the start of that special lifelong connection and one that Prince Harry's son Archie will now experience with his baby sister Lilibet.

Royal fans have witnessed some adorable moments over the years when young Prince and Princesses bonded with their new baby brothers and sisters. From Prince George and Princess Charlotte arriving at St Mary's Hospital in London to meet their newborn brother Prince Louis to little Princess Beatrice meeting her baby sister Eugenie all those years ago.

We've also got some pictures of European royal children with their baby siblings! Relive all the sweet royal childhood moments below…

Aw, remember this? It was May 2015 and a young George arrived at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital to meet his new baby sister Princess Charlotte. The prince was equally adorable peering over his sister's pram at her christening in July that year.

Prince William and baby Prince Harry

Classic pictures which are just as sweet today as they were in September 1984. A young Prince William leaves St. Mary's Hospital with his nanny Barbara Barnes after meeting his new brother Prince Harry. We adore how his outfit coordinated with mum Diana's.

Oh my goodness, how cute was little Beatrice leaving the Portland Hospital in March 1990 after meeting her new sister Princess Eugenie? Sarah Ferguson looked smitten with her newborn daughter too.
