Meghan Markle celebrated Prince Archie's sixth birthday on May 6, 2025, by sharing a new photo on her Instagram. The Duchess of Sussex posted a picture of Archie watching a sunset with the caption, "Our son. Our sun. Happy 6th birthday to Archie! Thank you for all of the love, prayers, and warm wishes for our sweet boy. He's six! Where did the time go?". She also mentioned a pre-birthday party, thanking those who attended.
Prince Harry was in Las Vegas on May 6 to launch a youth initiative with the Diana Award. The event, held at the Knowledge 2025 conference, included a conversation with Legacy Award holders Sikander "Sonny" Khan and Christina Williams. The initiative, called Pledge To Invest, aims to support youth leadership.
The Duke of Sussex's trip to Las Vegas coincided with Archie's birthday and the second anniversary of King Charles' coronation. Reports indicate that Harry and Meghan celebrated Archie’s birthday the weekend prior to his actual birthday to accommodate Harry’s travel. Despite ongoing family tensions, royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes King Charles regrets not spending more time with Archie and Princess Lilibet.
