Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet bear a striking resemblance!
A new photo of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter was shared this Sunday, Sept. 21 in The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland — A Special Edition of 20/20, a tribute honoring Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration.
In the picture, shared by fan accounts on social media, the two kids can be seen standing next to each other as they admire Lilibet’s 4th birthday cake. While their faces are not seen in the photo, fans get a look at their matching red hair.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2023, Harry said that his kids got their red hair from his late mother, Princess Diana‘s side of the family.

“The Spencer gene is very, very strong,” said Harry, referencing Princess Diana’s side of the family. “I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes, but I was wrong! Go gingers.”
Lilibet marked her fourth birthday in June with a trip to Disneyland alongside her brother and parents.
The Disneyland trip was a fitting one for the four-year-old who was gifted a whimsical two-tier cake with a The Little Mermaid theme, including blue fondant to represent water and an Ariel topper.
Meghan shared photos from the special celebration on Instagram, including a picture of her and Harry riding Space Station 77, a clip of Archie and Lilibet meeting Elsa from Frozen, and a photo of Harry, Archie, and Meghan looking at the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction.
It was important for Harry and Meghan to take their kids to Disneyland, as it was something they both did when they were younger.

“I went with my mom and my brother. I remember it very, very well. I remember losing it as a kid with all the characters. Like, losing it,” said Harry during The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland — A Special Edition of 20/20 about visiting Disney World in 1993 when he was 8.
