According to the tabloid, Meghan Markle would have made the decision to stay in California… to celebrate his son’s birthday, Archie. Indeed, the latter was born on May 6 and he will celebrate his fourth birthday, in the company of his mother, but without his dad. A decision that has been carefully considered by Prince Harry and his wife.

A very special day that Meghan Markle will follow, like all Britons but also the whole world, from his television in California.
