Meghan Markle’s ‘adorable’ new video of Prince Harry skiing with their son Prince Archie has left royal fans delighted.
On Thursday, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, gave her five million followers a rare peek into the family-of-four’s life since quitting the Firm as she shared a short clip of her ‘boys’ enjoying their ski holiday.
The video, filmed by Meghan, shows the Duke of Sussex, 41, leading the way down the snow-covered slopes as a mini-Harry follows close behind.
Young Archie, who also has bright red hair like his father, can be seen effortlessly weaving in a zig-zag formation as he travels down the blanketed incline.
Meghan gushed she was ‘so proud’ of Archie, as she praised the six-year-old’s ‘quick’ learning.
‘Like father, like son!’ royal fans later declared on X, as several people compared the clip with old photos and videos of Harry hitting the slopes in the 90s.
One X user added Archie, who is also learning how to surf, will be playing ‘polo next’, while another wrote: ‘It seems like it was just yesterday when the world was anticipating his arrival, and now Archie is skiing with his father.’
Some fans also shared old photos of Prince Harry during skiing trips with his mother, the late Princess of Wales, when he would have been close to Archie’s age.

Both Harry and his older brother, Prince William, are seasoned skiers as they were frequently spotted on sporty family holidays with Charles and Diana in the 90s.
From practising at the posh Klosters resort in Switzerland to zooming down the slopes in Lech, Austria, Prince Harry developed a passion for skiing early in his life – and now Archie appears to be following in his footsteps.
It comes after Archie was spotted learning how to ride the waves at a Californian surf school last August.
Photos showed Harry and Meghan beaming with pride as they watched their eldest child participate in a talent show organised by the Santa Barbara-based institute, Surf Happens.
It is described as ‘Santa Barbara’s premier surf school’ that offers year-round private and group classes while also running surf camps.
As he grows older, Archie is also increasingly looking like his redheaded father.
Fans noticed an uncanny resemblance between them after the Sussexes released a new family portrait to mark Christmas two years ago.
The picture shows Harry and Meghan’s daughter Lilibet, then three, running into her father’s waiting arms, while her brother makes a beeline for Meghan.

Is Archie turning into Harry’s mini-me ?
Prince Archie is seen with a shock of red hair as he runs towards his mother, who is waiting on an idyllic footpath with their three dogs – Mia, Pula and beloved rescue beagle Guy, who died last year.
His bright red hair is almost identical to his father’s, as can be plainly seen in a photograph of Harry with his late mother Diana taken at St George’s Chapel In Windsor in 1989.
Others, from a family holiday to the Bahamas a few years later, capture Prince Harry in a similar pose, running along a sandy beach.
In another image, from 1991, he could be mistaken for Archie, picturing a young Harry preparing to race at the Wetherby School sports day.
It is believed the Sussexes last went skiing together at Utah’s Powder Mountain Ski Resort in February 2024.
Last December, Prince Harry was spotted on a skiing trip with Argentine polo player and close friend Nacho Figueras in Aspen, Colorado.
Harry and Figueras first met in 2006 at a charity match for Sentebale, a charity which was set up by the prince and later counted Figueras as a patron.
Posting pictures of Meghan smiling next to her friends, her close friend Heather Dorak wrote: ‘Wow, what a perfect trip!! My heart is so full.
‘The kids crushed the slopes by day, and the adults howled with laughter deep into the night. Truly lucky in love with our wonderful friends!’
It was speculated that both Archie and Lilibet joined their parents on the trip, as Meghan previously voiced her hopes for the two to learn how to ski.
Bridget Bridge, who is the wife of Invictus Games 2025 board member, told The Mirror: ‘Meghan said that she really wanted her children to learn to ski and that maybe Whistler was the ideal place.
‘She said she didn’t ski, so we told her they must come and learn.’
