Meghan Markle confuses fans after son Archie asked her 'when his birthday is'
Archie turned six in MayMeghan Markle has left fans slightly confused as she revealed a question that son Prince Archie asked her.
On Sunday (September 21) Meghan and Prince Harry made an appearance on ABC News’ special, The Happiest Story On Earth: 70 Years Of Disneyland.
During their appearance in the documentary, Meghan and Harry spoke about their own fond memories of the theme park. But fans couldn’t help but focus on a comment Meghan made about Archie.
Meghan Markle reveals question Archie asked about his birthday
In the documentary, Meghan and Harry spoke about their trip to Disney earlier this year that they took to celebrate their daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday in June.
At the time, Meghan shared a series of images onto her social media account, showcasing their lavish few days at the theme park.
In the documentary, Prince Harry gushed about bringing his children to Disneyland, and how it made him feel like a “kid again”.
He said: “To see the kids throw themselves into these experiences, when they have no idea what they’re walking into. It was amazing. It brings out the kid in you again.”
But while they discussed their trip, Meghan revealed that it’s somewhere Archie wants to go for his birthday. But her son didn’t actually know when that was.
Meghan said: “For us to be able to have our own childhood memories, and then watch that play out through our daughter’s birthday. And Archie said, ‘When is my birthday?'”
However, her comment caused some confusion online, as many fans believed that Archie – who is six years old – would most likely know when his birthday is. Especially because he had celebrated it a month prior to the Disneyland trip.
Archie’s birthday falls on May 6.
Fans confused over the question
Taking to X, fans debated on what Archie really meant with his questions, confused that he didn’t remember his own party.
While celebrating Archie’s birthday back in May, Meghan shared a gorgeous sunset photo of the little prince.
I think he was just asking how far away his birthday was, not the date.
One fan wrote: “A six-year-old who doesn’t know his own birthday… our three-year-old knows hers!”
Another said: “Considering his birthday is May and Lilibet’s is June, his would have been just a few weeks before [the trip]. What an odd question to ask, just after he had actually had his birthday.”

A third asked: “Is it normal for a six-year-old to not know when his birthday is? Especially if it was the previous month?”
“Kids, by the age of six, are typically very proud to tell you when their birthday is,” another penned.
However, some fans defended Meghan’s comments, explaining that perhaps Archie meant how long is it until his next birthday.
One wrote: “I think he was just asking how far away his birthday was, not the date.”
