This was May, 2019 when, in line with Lacey, the Duchess of Sussex was combining the brand new duties of motherhood with work on a particular version of Vogue journal, which she had been requested to guest-edit.
Harry was to make his personal contribution to her ‘Forces for CHANGE’ version by interviewing Dr Goodall – which was why she had joined them on the newly renovated Frogmore Cottage, briefly their dwelling, close to Windsor Castle.
‘Meghan came into the room as the interview drew to a close,’ writes Lacey in his best-selling biography, Battle of Brothers.
‘She was holding the newborn Archie tenderly in her arms and she offered the baby to the 85-year-old Goodall,’ who takes up the story.
‘He was very tiny and very sleepy,’ she recollects. ‘I think I was one of the first to cuddle him outside the family. I made Archie do “the Queen’s Wave” saying “I suppose he’ll have to learn this.”
Harry’s response brooked little question:
‘No! He’s not rising up like that.’

In June 2021, Archie was joined by a child sister referred to as Lilibet – the pet title for Harry’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The Sussexes have been understandably protecting of their kids’s privateness.
Harry made his views on royal life abundantly clear in his explosive memoir, Spare, revealed in early 2022, through which he railed towards the conventions and restrictions of the British Royal Family.
