Meghan Markle shared her sweet nickname for her almost 5-month-old son Archie during the little royal’s first-ever official engagement on Wednesday. Along with Prince Harry, they stepped out as a family of three to meet with South African human rights activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe.
In video from the visit, Meghan is heard calling her son “Bubba.”
“Say hello! Hello, hi,” she says, then realizes he’s drooling. “Oh, Bubba!” Luckily, dad Prince Harry was ready to catch the dribble.
Meghan, 38, also appeared to call her son by the name in a video shared to the couple’s Instagram Story as they walked down a corridor to meet with Archbishop Tutu.
Even though it’s Archie’s very first royal tour, both his parents noted that he’s relaxed and natural in front of all the cameras. Harper’s Bazaar reports that while they were having their picture taken, Prince Harry said to the cameras, “I think [Archie’s] used to it already.” Markle reportedly added, “He’s an old soul.” It looks like this whole public figure thing is coming pretty natural to him.
