Proud parents Harry and Meghan reveal Archie's latest milestone

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared some exciting news regarding their six-month-old son Archie.

Archie is crawling.

Duchess Meghan shared the exciting news with military families during a surprise visit. Archie is ahead of schedule with this milestone, as most babies begin crawling at the ages of seven to ten months.

During the visit, the Duke and Duchess spoke to fellow parents about the difficulties they face as their partners travel to serve the country.

Amy Thompson, whose husband Brad is attached to the Welsh Guards, told 9Honey:

"My daughter Aeris is the same age as Archie and we talked about weaning and the children beginning to crawl. [Meghan's] just a normal mum and it was like talking to a friend."

The duo also learned about the unique challenges surrounding military life as well as the importance of social networks that exit to support families during deployments.

This struck a chord with Prince Harry, as he has previously served in the military.

"I can't imagine what it's like to miss so much, as they change so quickly," he said.

The couple also spent time speaking with their neighbours, including army wife Leigh Smith and her daughter Molly, 8.

"Meghan promised not to tell anyone that I was off school," Molly later told HELLO!  "She asked me who my best friend was."
