Meghan Markle shared what’s on her son’s Christmas wish-list
Meghan Markle has unveiled the budding photography passion of her son, Prince Archie, disclosing that the young royal expressed a desire for an upscale camera as a Christmas gift.
The revelation came during a Q&A session after a screening of Netflix’s short film “The After” at their residence in Montecito, California, where Markle, Prince Harry, and their children, 4-year-old Archie and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet, reside
Markle shared that Archie’s interest in photography was sparked by Misan Harriman, a renowned photographer responsible for capturing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s family moments.
During a photography lesson with Harriman, Markle gifted Archie a camera, but he promptly noted, “But it’s not a Leica like Misan,” referencing the high-end, handcrafted cameras that can be quite pricey.
Amused by Archie’s lofty request, Markle humorously recounted their exchange.
“You are not getting a Leica! Not even for Christmas,” she declared.
Despite the interesting choice considering Prince Harry’s aversion to cameras due to the paparazzi’s role in Princess Diana’s life, Markle expressed gratitude to Harriman for inspiring their son.
What other gifts has Archie received?
Interestingly, Archie did receive a unique Christmas gift – a waffle maker – from his late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.Prince Harry shared on “The Late Late Show” that the Queen asked what Archie wanted, and Meghan suggested a waffle maker. The thoughtful gift has become a breakfast hit in the royal household, with Archie waking up eagerly to ask, “Waffle?”
However, the holiday season for the royal family is not without its complexities. The couple is opting for a reconciliation strategy after a tumultuous year that saw the release of Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” which included unflattering stories about other members of the royal family.
Despite the challenges, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to extend a special gift to King Charles, marking an attempt at reconciliation in the midst of recent controversies and revelations within the royal circles.
