Prince Archie is fully embracing his Californian lifestyle, becoming a bonafide surf dude as his proud parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle look on.
Days before Meghan’s 44th birthday, the happy family unit were spotted on a local beach just ten minutes from their Montecito home, where the six-year-old had been taking surfing lessons.
Parents gathered to watch, and Harry and Meghan were seen chatting to other moms and dads, smiling broadly as they cheered Archie on as he took to the waves.
“Harry and Meghan were part of a group of parents, they were very down to earth,” a source tells HELLO! “They were so proud of Archie. It was cute to watch – a special family time.”
Archie’s previous surfing experience
It seems Archie caught the surfing bug after being taken by his dad to enjoy the pastime with surfing professional Raimana Van Bastolaer last year.
In the candid pic, Harry looked ready to hit the waves, clutching a surfboard and wearing a wet suit, while Archie was seen sitting at the front of the jet ski, wearing a pale blue rash vest with his legs bare at the side.
The surprise outing was confirmed when Raimana shared a lookback of the year, which featured a photo Harry and Archie on a jet-ski.
