Meghan Markle reads 'Duck! Rabbit!' to Archie on his first birthday and it's absolutely delightful
If you're in need of a good cheering up, then I've got just the thing for you.
In celebration of their son Archie's first birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, have shared a sweet new video of story time.
In the clip, Meghan curled up with a book — Amy Krouse Rosenthal's 2009 book Duck! Rabbit! to be precise — and read to Archie, while Harry filmed the delightful moment. Baby Archie wriggled and intermittently turned pages as Meghan did an enthusiastic reading of the tale.
