The cutest little birthday boy! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared a new photo of their son, Archie, on Thursday, May 6 — a.k.a. his second birthday.
In the photo, which was uploaded to their Archewell Foundation website, Archie is looking up at a large bouquet of balloons.
This year, the couple is asking people for donations for COVID-19 vaccines for people across the globe.
"We have been deeply touched over the past two years to feel the warmth and support for our family in honor of Archie’s birthday. Many of you donate to charities on his behalf, and mark the occasion by giving back or doing an act of service — all through the goodness of your hearts. You raise funds for those who need it most, and continue to do so organically and selflessly. We remain incredibly grateful," their message began on their website.
The note continued, "This year, our world continues to be on the path to recovery from COVID-19. Yet too many families are still struggling with the impact of this pandemic. While some places are on the verge of healing, in so many parts of the world, communities continue to suffer. As of today, around 80 percent of the nearly one billion COVID-19 vaccine shots that have been given were administered in wealthier countries. While we may feel that normalcy is around the corner, we remind ourselves that in much of the world, and especially in developing countries, vaccine distribution has effectively yet to start."
"We cannot think of a more resonant way to honor our son’s birthday. If we all show up, with compassion for those we both know and don’t know, we can have a profound impact. Even a small contribution can have a ripple effect. Together, we can uplift, protect, and care for one another," the message concluded.
The former actress, 39 — who is pregnant with baby No. 2 — and Harry, 36, are "staying local in Montecito and are having a pool day and BBQ in their luscious garden," a source spilled about Archie's big day.
