At just two years old, Archie Harrison already bears a striking resemblance to his mother, Meghan Markle. A new comparison photo shared on Twitter demonstrates the remarkable similarities between the pair – and fans have been quick to react.

The post shows a picture of Meghan taken when she was six-months-old and sat on the lap of her half-sister, Samantha Markle. The snapshot of Archie, meanwhile, was featured in Prince Harry's Apple TV+ series focused on mental health.

Some commentators, however, thought Archie still largely resembled his dad. "With his hair out he looks like Meg but with a hat on, he's spit image of Harry," one wrote, while a second shared: "He looks like Harry!" "…And he has red hair!" another agreed.

Back in March, during a chat with James Corden on top of a double-decker tourist bus, the father-of-one also revealed another of Archie's first words - "crocodile".

"My son is now over a year and a half, he is hysterical, he's got the most amazing personality, he's already putting two, three words together," he told the host of The Late, Late Show. "He's already singing songs. His first word was 'crocodile', three syllables."
