Much like his father, Prince Harry, baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is going to have much of his young life documented by the public. Despite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s desire to keep his life as normal as possible, he’s still a royal, after all.
One perk, though? Sometimes Beyoncé and Jay-Z will be the first (outside of family and friends, natch) to learn about him reaching new milestones—like holding up his baby head.
In case you missed it, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex met Bey and Jay at the London premiere of The Lion King and shared a few sweet moments (and hugs) while discussing their children. Per People, Beyoncé told Markle that Archie was “so beautiful” before hearing about the baby’s big moment from Prince Harry.
The prince reenacted his son stretching his neck and holding his head straighter, to which Beyoncé replied, “He’s holding his neck up?” Prince Harry then showed off how he claps and cheers for his son and revealed that Archie is “not so little anymore.”
It’s a nice reminder that no matter how famous their parents are, babies are just babies—growing and changing every day. And those famous parents are going to celebrate those milestones just like the rest of us, even if they also get to hang with Beyoncé. People also reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z left their twins, Rumi and Sir, at home for the Lion King premiere. “They are not here. They don’t come on every trip,” Beyoncé said. “We left them at home. They would loved to have been here.”
Perhaps they were following Jay-Z’s reported wise words for the Sussexes: “The best advice I can give you, always find some time for yourself.”
It’s not clear when the public will get its next glimpse at baby Archie. Perhaps another polo outing for the family? Or it might not be until Markle and Harry’s royal tour in Africa this fall. Either way, we can’t wait for more adorable photos.
