The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
may live in the US with their children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one,
but in the past, Archie has enjoyed some adorable playdates with his
cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Perhaps the most heart-melting
outing we’ve seen them enjoy together was back in the summer of 2019,
when Meghan and the Duchess of Cambridge took their
children along to watch Prince William and Prince Harry play
in a polo match in Wokingham in July that year.
The event was the first time
royal fans got to see the then two-month-old with his cousins in public. While
William and Kate had already popped in to see their nephew shortly after his
birth in May 2019, the couple waited a while before introducing their three
children to their baby cousin.
It’s not unusual for royal
children to meet their relatives much later. Back in 2014, George wasn’t
introduced to his cousin Mia, the daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall,
until she was two months old.
Archie snoozed in his mother’s
arms throughout the match, but Prince George appeared to be checking in on his
baby cousin at various points throughout the day.
George, wearing a green polo
shirt, was spotted chatting to his aunt Meghan. Perhaps one day we’ll see the
royal cousins playing in matches together, just like their fathers?
Kate had her hands full with a
then one-year-old Prince Louis, who was pictured running around the field.
The Duchesses kept their cool in the shade during the match, with Kate opting
for a pink patterned summer dress from L.K. Bennett and Meghan looking
effortlessly chic in an olive green linen dress by designer Lisa Marie
Fernandez.
At one point, Louis could be
seen taking mum Kate’s sunglasses off her head, as Meghan and Archie watched
Harry play.
Louis provided lots of comedic
moments at the match, as he toddled towards his aunt and baby cousin, wearing
Kate’s Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Kate could be seen laughing
while chatting with her sister-in-law, as Louis poked his tongue out and waved.
Meghan seemed amused by her
cheeky nephew!
Charlotte could be seen
standing with Kate, Louis, Meghan and Archie during the match. She and George
were also spotted playing football on the sidelines.
