Meghan Markle's Royal Family Shock: Prince Archie's Birthday Blunder Leaves Fans Stunned!

In a jaw-dropping revelation that has left royal fans and experts alike scratching their heads, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has confessed that her six-year-old son, Archie, asked her when his birthday was after their family trip to Disneyland in June. The stunning admission has sparked a heated debate online, with many questioning whether it's normal for a child of Archie's age not to know their own birthday.

According to sources close to the royal couple, Meghan and Prince Harry took their two children, Archie and Lilibet, on a whirlwind trip to Disneyland in June to celebrate their daughter's fourth birthday. The family-of-four was seen having an absolute blast, meeting Disney princess Elsa from Frozen and enjoying thrilling rides like Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Space Mountain.

However, it was during an appearance on ABC News' special documentary "The Happiest Story On Earth: 70 Years Of Disneyland" that Meghan dropped the bombshell. Speaking about their trip, she revealed that Archie asked her when his birthday was after returning from the park. The comment has left many fans and experts perplexed, as it's highly unusual for a child of six to not know their own birthday.

"I think he was asking how far away his birthday was, not the date," commented one user on social media platform X, while another wondered, "Is it normal for a six-year-old to not know when their birthday is? Especially if it was just the previous month?"

Others were quick to point out that Archie had celebrated his own birthday in May and that it's surprising he wouldn't have remembered the date. Some even questioned whether Meghan's comments were genuine or if she was simply trying to create a dramatic narrative for the sake of the documentary.

The controversy has sparked a heated debate online, with some fans defending Meghan and suggesting that children at Archie's age can be forgetful about their birthdays. However, others have called out the Duchess for her apparent lack of parenting skills.

"A 6-year-old who doesn't know his own birthday... our 3-year-old knows hers!" exclaimed one royal fan on social media. Another asked, "Is it normal for a six-year-old to not know when his birthday is? Especially if it was just the previous month?"

Meghan and Harry's appearance on the documentary came just a day after their surprise joint appearance at Kevin Costner's charity event in Santa Barbara. The couple was spotted mingling with other celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, at the exclusive gathering.

The documentary also featured Prince Harry sharing fond memories of his childhood trips to Disney World with his late mother Princess Diana and older brother Prince William. He recalled "losing it" over his excitement during their 1993 visit to Florida when he was just eight years old.

In a surprising revelation, Meghan also shared that she had visited Disneyland as a teenager for grad night, revealing that the amusement park was "more accessible" to her due to being born and raised in Southern California. However, it's clear that even after all these years, Meghan still can't get enough of the Happiest Place on Earth.

As the debate rages on, one thing is certain – Meghan Markle's comments have left fans stunned and sparked a heated discussion about parenting and childhood development. Will Archie ever remember his birthday? Only time will tell!
