Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s son Archie is "desperate" to talk and "is well on his way to walking".
The couple – who have 11-month-old Archie together – are reportedly raising a "very confident little boy".
Royal expert Katie Nicholl said: "I spoke to someone who had been sent a video of Archie a few weeks back. He said that he is super cute and a really, really happy little boy. He’s burbling and sort of desperate to talk, but certainly already mastered cruising and is well on his way to walking. He may even be walking already. I was told very cute, very, very happy, and very confident little boy."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to Malibu, California to be closer to Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, but they have yet to see one another in person due to the coronavirus pandemic and are instead relying on technology.
Katie added to Entertainment Tonight: "My understanding is that they’ve been keeping in touch through social media, not actually seeing each other in person, which must be incredibly hard for Meghan being so close to her mother, just a matter of miles away. And equally difficult, one would imagine, for Doria because she hasn’t been able to see Archie. But I am told by reliable sources that they’re taking social distancing and the government guidelines very seriously indeed."
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan recently revealed their new charity is called Archewell, inspired by their son’s name.
The couple said: "Like you, our focus is on supporting efforts to tackle the global Covid-19 pandemic but faced with this information coming to light, we felt compelled to share the story of how this came to be. Before SussexRoyal, came the idea of ‘Arche’ – the Greek word meaning ‘source of action’. We connected to this concept for the charitable organisation we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son’s name. To do something of meaning, to do something that matters. Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon. We look forward to launching Archewell when the time is right."
