Prince Harry’s Genes Were the Clear Winners in an Adorable New Photo of Archie & Lilibet

Did Meghan Markle’s genes even try to compete against husband Prince Harry’s? Because a rare new photo of their kids Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, proves that they got this striking trait straight from their dad.

The Duchess of Sussex shared new photos of behind-the-scenes moments from her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and it included rare snaps of her two kids. In the caption, Markle shared how much she enjoyed making this series. “Filming season two of ‘With Love, Meghan’ was more fun than you can imagine,” she wrote in part. “Part of how we kept the vibe alive? Music. Between set ups I would play a song from my phone.” So sweet!

See the little cuties in slide 2, where they sit at an outdoor table with headphones on as they watch their mom film on a little screen. Prince Archie is wearing a red soccer t-shirt and Princess Lilibet has a floral dress with a light pink hoodie.

What stands out the most in this cute photo, though? Their matching bright red hair! The sun shines on their hair, showing off their natural red hues that are identical. These two could be twins with how much they look alike, and it melts our hearts!

In another snap, Lilibet sits in a director’s chair, wearing blue polka dot pants and a pink shirt. Her head is away from the camera, revealing her cascading, curly red hair flowing down her back. A different picture shows Harry holding the clapperboard for the camera. These two clearly had a great time helping their mama film.

These kids have red hair that is even brighter than their dad had at their age. In old photos with Prince Harry’s mom, the late Princess Diana, Harry’s hair looks more of a light strawberry blonde than the fire engine red that his kids have. And even though a previous video had us convinced Lilibet’s hair was getting darker, these new snaps show her hair is as red as ever.

And it’s not just their hair that takes after their dad. Princess Lilibet and Prince Harry have also developed a bit of a British accent. In an episode of Season 2 of With Love, Meghan, Markle revealed that her kids “both say ‘zeb-rah’ … instead of zebra.”

We love that! When it comes to cooking, however, those terms are all American. “Papa’s not cooking as much,” Markle revealed. At least Markle can leave her mark on Archie and Lilibet in that sense! They might not look or sound like their mom, but they can learn to cook like her. It’s the cutest combination of both parents.
