Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted a photograph on Instagram on Sunday to mark UK Father's Day, showing Prince Harry hugging their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet. The image, which shows the children from behind with their faces hidden, quickly drew attention from fans who noticed a detail about Archie's outfit: he is wearing an England football top bearing the words 'England Fifa World Cup' and a large football graphic.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on the shirt. One wrote: 'Our little Prince Archie in his England #WorldCup2026 Jersey.' Another said: 'Prince Archie is wearing his England World Cup tee shirt.' A third added: 'Archie repping the Three Lions already,' while another commented: 'Love that Prince Archie is in England t shirt.'
Archie's Upcoming UK Visit
The England-themed outfit comes ahead of Archie's return to the UK next month—his father's home country. Although Archie was born in the UK, he has not visited since 2022, after the family moved to the US in 2020. Princess Lilibet and Meghan have also not properly visited the UK since 2022, with Harry making solo trips in recent years.
The family-of-four is believed to be visiting the UK next month to attend the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games 2027, which will be held in Birmingham. Reports suggest they may stay in a royal residence, and a meeting with King Charles—Harry's father—could be on the agenda.
