Baby Archie update: Will Archie Harrison be a pageboy? The role to lift the royal rift
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have moved to Canada with nine-month-old son Archie Harrison, but the family of three could return to the UK this spring to attend the wedding of Harry’s cousin Princess Beatrice to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the wedding of Beatrice’s sister Princess Eugenie in 2018, just a few days before they announced they were expecting their first child.
Will Archie be a pageboy at Princess Beatrice’s wedding?
Beatrice’s nuptials will take place on May 29, a couple of weeks after Archie turns one.
Due to his young age, it is unlikely the young royal will be able to walk properly yet, which would make it difficult for him to be a pageboy.
Most babies take their first steps sometime between nine and 12 months, so although Archie could walk, it’s unlikely he will be too steady.

Normally babies walk well by the time they’re 14 or 15 months old and some don’t walk before they are 17 months.
According to punters, there is still a chance little Archie could be involved in the wedding as a pageboy.
Bookies Ladbrokes sets the odds at 3/1 for the son of Meghan and Harry to be a pageboy, behind cousins Prince George, six and Prince Louis, one.
Prince George was a pageboy at Princess Eugenie’s wedding in 2018, and is likely to return to the aisle this time around as well.
Who will be pageboys and flower girls?
Page Boy
- Prince George – 10/11
- Prince Louis – 10/11
- Archie Harrison – 3/1
Flowergirls
- Princess Charlotte – 4/5
- Mia Tindall – 6/4
- Savannah Phillips – 2/1
