Prince Archie’s very unusual and unexpected first word | Royal | News
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may still be very much in the spotlight since leaving senior royal life five years ago, however the same cannot be said for their two young children. Since relocating to Montecito in 2020, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, have rarely been seen publicly, with Harry and Meghan making an effort to give their children as much privacy as possible.
However, while their children may not be in the public eye, this has not stopped the proud parents from revealing sweet facts about them over the years. This includes a moment in early 2021 when the Duke of Sussex featured on The Late Late Show with James Cordon. In the episode, Harry, 40, was given a tour of LA by James and was asked a sweet question about his son Archie.
When asked about Archie’s first word, Harry was quick to reveal that his oldest child had said something very unusual – crocodile.
James replied, “that’s a big word”, to which proud Harry replied: “Three syllables”.
The revelation was made in 2021, just one year after the couple had moved across the pond.
At the time, Princess Lilibet had not yet been born.
While Archie’s first word may seem sweet but unusual to some, he is not the only young royal to have a first word slightly out of the ordinary.
This was also the case with Prince William and Princess Kate’s youngest son Prince Louis, now six, who reportedly said “Mary” as one of his first words.
Kate, 43, explained to chef Mary Berry that this was because Mary’s cookbooks were in the family kitchen and were at almost eye level with the young prince when he was a little boy.
