Meghan Markle and Prince Harry fans praise them for ‘holding Baby Archie so close to their heart’ in touching clip

ROYALS fans have gone into meltdown of the cute clip of Meghan Markle kissing her son on the head and say they are "holding Archie close to their heart."

The adorable clip was spotted as part of a trailer for the new ITV documentary Harry and Meghan: An African Journey, which is airing on Sunday.

The trailer shows the Duke of Sussex, 35, cuddling and bouncing Archie in his arms as Meghan, 38, embraces the five-month-old on his head during the trip to southern Africa.

One fan gushed on social media: “I just delight in how they hold Archie close to their bodies and hearts.

"My beautiful precious Mother always held my children like that. She said they like to hear and feel your heartbeat."

Another said: “This documentary is going to be so good. Harry holding Archie, Meghan kissing his forehead im deceased already.”

Meanwhile, one wrote: “This little guy has a way of stealing your heart.”

The documentary’s presenter Tom Brady said the programme will reveal the “happiness” alongside the “pressure and pain” of being a royal.

Mr Bradby said: “The story of their time in Africa was of passion for their work, pride and happiness, but also a world a pressure and pain behind the brave faces.”

It comes after a royal expert claimed Meghan and Harry are desperate for Archie to have a “normal” upbringing away from the spotlight.

Angela Mollard said on the podcast Royals that the duke and duchess ideally want to give him a childhood similar to that of Zara Tindall, and daughters Mia and Lena.

She said: “I’ve been reading [biographer] Angela Levin, she spent a lot of time with him, I think nearly a year on royal tours and in interviews.

“He very much feels that he’s down that hierarchy from William, it should afford him the kind of life that Zara and Peter Phillips enjoyed.

“He’s looked at his cousins all these years and thought how smart it was that Princess Anne didn’t give her children titles.

“They’ve been allowed to grow up fairly normally, both Zara and Peter, and then their children, Mia and her little sister Lena, and Peter’s children, are just not in the limelight.

“I think that’s what he desperately wants for Archie.”

We shared how Prince Harry wanted Baby Archie to go on royal tour to introduce him ‘to the place he loves’.

And it was revealed that Archie had lots of toys on the royal tour so he didn’t miss his ‘home comforts’, royal expert claims.
