It's official: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have added one more to the royal family! The couple welcomed their first child together, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on Monday, May 6, 2019.

It has been milestone after milestone for the royal couple. Meghan marked her first Mother's Day as a first-time mom and now the couple are celebrating their first wedding anniversary!

To celebrate these special occasions, HOLA! USA is looking back at the royal couple's life moments, from their days as children to their milestone moments as a royal couple and of course, finalizing with the culmination of their love: Archie himself.

1992

In 1992, Meghan Markle was sporting the typical nineties look—jeans, crop top and big hair, while a young Prince Harry was on a family ski trip in Lech, Austria.

1993

Sure she was only 11, but at the time a young Meghan was already fighting for equality. She wrote a letter to a company that was being sexist. "I don’t think it is right for kids to grow up thinking that mom does everything. If you see something that you don’t like or offended by on television or any other place, write letters and send them to the right people and you can really make a difference," she said at the time.

Meanwhile, across the pond, a young Prince Harry visited Deutschland and boarded a military tank.

Teenage Years

At 18, Meghan got dolled up to attend her high school prom at Immaculate Heart High School, a private, all-girls Catholic school in Los Angeles. Prince Harry celebrated his own 18th birthday while at Eton College.

The royal mom-to-be dipped her toes in Hollywood while attending several A-list events, including the Kari Feinstein Pre-Emmy Style Lounge in 2005. Prince Harry, on the other hand, was enjoying life as an occasional polo player.

2017

Meghan and Prince Harry were set up on a blind date in July 2016. “I didn’t know much about him, so the only thing that I had asked [our mutual friend] when she said that she wanted to set us up, was, ‘Well, is he nice?,'" Meghan previously said about their relationship.

One of their first public appearances as a couple was at 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto.

Welcome, baby!

Little Archie was formally introduced to the world on May 8, 2019. The Duke and Duchess were beside themselves with happiness. “It’s great,” he said. “Parenting is amazing. It’s only been two and a half, three days. We’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy and spend some precious times with him as he slowly grows up.”
