LONDON – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s youngest son Archie was first heard speaking on Tuesday, when the couple launched their first podcast, and British media took advantage of his “American” accent.
Archie, born in May 2019, laughs and wishes the listeners Happy New Year at the end of the couple’s debut on Spotify’s audio streaming platform.
The Daily MailRoyal editor Rebecca English tweeted that she “has a lot of American accent,” while Sun The tabloid wrote: “Baby Archie has an American accent.”
The appearance of 18-month-old Archie comes after the couple launched a series of legal actions against the media for alleged violations of their privacy, while revealing aspects of their private life in ways they control.
Markle earlier this month settled a claim against a news agency that took pictures of her and Archie in a Canadian park.
She wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times in November, revealing that she aborted the couple’s second baby.
This was the first episode after the couple announced earlier this month a deal with Spotify to record “uplifting and entertaining stories.”
Since ceasing royal duties and moving to California this year, the couple have launched several creative ventures, including a deal with streaming giant Netflix.
For the podcast, they asked famous friends, including singer Elton John, TV host James Corden, and New Age guru Deepak Chopra, to make recordings of their experiences facing the pandemic and their hopes for the next year.
“Our collective mental health has been at the forefront of people’s minds, and rightly so,” says Harry, who along with Markle narrates and links the elements.
“It has been a terrible time for people. I hope we can heal in 2021,” says Elton John, who described 2020 as “the worst year I have ever known, and I am 73 years old.”
“Cheers on that, Elton,” says Harry.
The couple also talk about their feelings for each other.
“Trust us when we say: love wins,” says Meghan.
“Love always wins,” Harry interjects.
The podcast ends with a gospel song that was played at the couple’s wedding: This little light of mine.
