Enjoying a laughter-filled chat with the royal couple, 11-year-old Milly Sutherland and her mother Angela, 50, told that Archie had attended his first playgroup today.

Meghan told the mother and daughter duo that the baby class was "really good fun" and that Archie had "loved it".

Joking about her own hair colour, Milly then pulled at a strand of her red locks and said "snap" at the Duke.

In response, Prince Harry joked "can I borrow some?" in reference to his own thinning hair. Seriously, this story just keeps getting better and better.

After this, Milly asked whether Archie also has red hair like his dad.

"Meghan said he has and Harry said he definitely is [ginger], you can see it in his eyebrows," Angela recalled.

She added: "Harry said he'd had no hair for five months but Meghan told him she had taken him to the playgroup and she said there were other children there with the same amount of hair or even less."

Milly received the Most Caring Child Award at this evening's ceremony after she looked after her sister Sophie - who had Aicardi Syndrome and passed away last year.
