Who met Archie first from the Cambridge children
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and from the beginning, the couple has done everything differently.
Not only did they choose to have their son in the American-owned Portland Hospital in London, instead of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's like the three Cambridge children, they also kept his recent baptism private on July 7.

Even Archie's introduction to the rest of the royals, and his cousins in particular, was delayed with reports that Prince George, six, was the first of the Cambridge children to meet his baby cousin, well ahead of Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, one, both of whom first met him at The King Power Royal Charity Polo Match in London earlier this month.
Prince William and Prince Harry were competing in the match, with their families attending to cheer them on. The event was Archie's first official public outing.

Prince William and Kate met their nephew before their kids did, travelling to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor when he was just a week old. They also attended the christening along with 25 guests.
The godparents’ identities have been kept private.
