As their firstborn, Archie, readies to start full-time preschool in Montecito, California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are about to start a new chapter in their lives.
But if he continues to greet them in this manner, they will be waiting to pick him up at the school’s gates every day.

During a recent in-depth interview Meghan conducted with The Cut for The New York Times, she brought journalist Allison P. Davis with her to pick up Archie from school.
Archie’s reaction when he saw his mother at the gates was so endearing, and she captured it on camera.
He runs toward her while repeating “Momma, Momma, Momma” in a small voice, so eager to see her that he leaves his lunchbox on the ground, according to Allison. They both close their eyes as she snatches him up in a bear hug that is so genuine in its emotion.
The mother of two isn’t the only one who benefits from Archie’s show of love; his father, Prince Harry, is also welcomed with joy.

The article stated, “Archie leaps out as we approach the house.” “As Harry hangs up the phone, Archie wraps himself around his legs.”
Meghan revealed the endearing ritual she has with Archie on their way back home, adding to the documentation of Harry and Meghan’s household and parenting style in Montecito, California.
“If he [Archie] forgets to say please or thank you, Meghan reminds him of the manners that make the man,” Allison wrote during the car ride.
“At a stoplight, she [Meghan] reaches into the trunk and produces a brand-new black backpack and hands it to her security detail to give to an unhoused man on the corner,” she continued.
“They are showing Archie that not everyone lives in a house, some do, some do, and some live in a house between two others,” they said. They created kits to distribute that included granola bars, water, and peanut butter crackers. Then Archie says, “I ate one!”
Once the family returns to their home in California after attending the funeral of Prince Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, the sweet routine will undoubtedly continue.
