After all, as birth announcements go, it was fairly standard, proclaiming that Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex, "was safely delivered of a son at 0526hrs this morning," and, as all expected, her husband, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, was on hand for the big moment. Continued the release, shared on the royal family's official Instagram page, "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer have been informed and are delighted with the news." Which, when you break it down, all checks out, as Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip are always at the top of the phone chain when it comes to royal baby arrivals and of course Harry and Meghan were quick to inform his dad, step-mom, brother and sister-in-law. The rest of the list, acknowledging Princess Diana's sisters and brother, were a new addition, having not been mentioned when Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their three heirs. (Nor did Kate's family get a shoutout, though Meghan and Harry saw to it that her mom, Doria Ragland, was included.)<doc-sep>
Duchess Meghan paid tribute to Princess Diana on Mother’s Day by sharing an adorable picture of her new son’s feet on the Sussexes’ official Instagram account. This is her first Mother’s Day as a new mom—her baby Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Monday. Mother’s Day falls earlier in the year in the U.K.; but as an American, the Duchess of Sussex wanted to mark the U.S. celebration of the day in her own special way.

In the background are a bed of beautiful blue forget-me-nots—which were Princess Diana’s favorite flowers, reminding of Harry and Meghan’s determination to keep her alive in their hearts. The caption accompanying the sweet snap reads, “Paying tribute to all mothers today—past, present, mother-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered. “We honor and celebrate each and every one of you. “Today is Mother’s Day in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Japan, and several countries across Europe. “This is the first Mother’s day for The Duchess of Sussex.” The post ends with a quote from the poem ‘lands’ by Nayyirah Waheed: “my mother was my first country; the first place i ever lived.” Not only does Meghan get to celebrate her first Mother’s Day with little Archie, she also gets to share the day with her own mother, Doria Ragland, who is staying with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson while the Sussexes adjust to life as a family of three. This isn’t the first time that Meghan has incorporated symbols relating to the late Princess of Wales into her new role as a member of the royal family. On the day of her wedding to Prince Harry, she wore a Givenchy veil embroidered with sheaves of wheat to “represent love and charity,” a clear homage to the spirit of Diana.
