Prince Harry and Meghan are likely to spend the day privately with their son in their new home in Los Angeles as the city is currently in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Archie's first home was Frogmore Cottage in Windsor until the end of last year, when he and his parents moved to Vancouver Island in Canada. The Sussexes officially stepped back from royal duties on 21 March and moved to the US after carrying out their final engagements in the UK.
