Meghan Markle has shared an adorable video of her reading to Archie to celebrate his first birthday.

The clip, which was reportedly filmed by Prince Harry, was shared on the Save the Children Instagram page, in collaboration with the charity's Save with Stories campaign, which aims to raise funds for children and families struggling due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK, and around the world.

"Duck! Rabbit!' with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex (and Harry, The Duke of Sussex behind the camera), read to their son Archie for his 1st birthday. Happy Birthday, Archie!" the caption read. "Thank you #DuchessMeghan for helping us to raise urgent funds for our coronavirus appeal by reading Duck! Rabbit."

Watch the sweet clip below:

"Kudos to Meghan & Harry for using Archie's 1st birthday to raise funds to help children in need during this global pandemic. The Sussex family are true forces for good," wrote one fan on Twitter, while another corroborated: "Happy first birthday Archie! Thank you for being the light and love that beamed your parents faces the moment you were born. Can't wait to see you grow up as you explore, learn and create new memories that will last a life time! [sic]"

During the clip, Archie can be seen laughing, and getting distracted by some of his other books. In a particularly sweet moment, he throws one on the floor, and his parents can be heard giggling in the background.

Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor was born on May 6, 2019, at a hospital in London.

Despite being seventh in line to the throne, Archie does not have an HRH title, and is not a prince - unlike his three cousins, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
