Baby Archie is the spitting image of Dad Prince Harry!

Like father, like son... - by Alix Nicholson
  • 25 Sep 2019

Gorgeous new pictures from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's tour of South Africa show us just how similar Prince Harry and his baby son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor really are!

The images show an amazing likeness between the littlest royal and his dad Harry when he was a baby.

WATCH: Harry and Meghan take little Archie to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu!

On September 25, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took four-month-old Archie to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu in South Africa as part of their royal tour - the trio's first as a family.

Photos from inside the meeting show the three adults barely touching their tea as they sit transfixed by tiny Archie - who bears a striking family resemblance to his dad when he was a bub.

We've had nothing more than fleeting glances of little Archie since he was born earlier this year. 

But now that the little one's on his first official royal tour, his mum and dad are finally sharing their beautiful boy with fans. Taking to Instagram earlier in the day, the Duke and Duchess shared a sweet video of themselves taking their son to meet the archbishop. 

Dressed in a pastel blue romper paired with a white long-sleeved undershirt, little Archie looked absolutely adorable (no surprises there!). And in a move that took his cuteness even further, the bub - born on May 6 this year - gave the camera a big smile as the family-of-three turn the corner and make for the stairs, where their welcoming party was waiting.

Arch meets Archie! This morning The Duke and Duchess were honoured to introduce their son Archie, to Archbishop, Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka. The Archbishop, a globally respected figure in anti-apartheid movement, is one of the world's great champions of equality, and has spent his life tirelessly battling injustice. Their Royal Highnesses have joined The Archbishop and Thandeka to learn more about the work of The Tutu and Leah Legacy Foundation, and see first-hand how they are focussing on global awareness of the critical issues affecting the world. #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica * Photo ©️ Reuters

Harry and Meghan have been happily gushing about their baby boy during the royal tour (which is the royal baby's first official tour).

Hello reported that during a visit to the District Six Museum on Monday, Prince Harry told a member of the crowd that the flight had left Archie "exhausted".

"He's not grouchy, just exhausted," he said, also telling Cape Town locals that the four-month-old was mesmerised by the local landmark Table Mountain.

"He was staring out the window as we flew in... looking at Table Mountain," the Duke of Sussex said.

During a visit to the British High Commissioner's residence in Cape Town, Meghan also reportedly discussed her son.

An anonymous guest told the Daily Mail that the Duchess spoke of the family's flight.

"They said it was the longest flight they have taken with Archie. She slept with one eye open - but he was very good."

The sweet new images of the happy family come as speculation mounts that Meghan and Harry are gearing up to announce a second pregnancy any day now after the Duchess dropped a clue while on her royal tour of South Africa with Prince Harry.

On the first day of the tour, the Duchess of Sussex made a nod to her first child Archie through wearing the same blue dress she wore during her pregnancy.

According to Express, the photos have created a buzz online amongst royal observers, with one user writing "Meghan Markle changes into the same blue dress she wore when she was pregnant last year on Royal Tour!”
