Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just revealed what their two-year-old son's favourite song is. While on a recent visit to a US military base in New Jersey, where close to 46,000 Afghan refugees are currently residing, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave a rare update into little Archie Harrison (who is now a big brother to baby Lilibet Diana).
As part of their trip, the couple met with a classroom of children who are learning to speak English. Keen to get stuck in, it's reported that Meghan was seen holding up different coloured pens in front of the children as they shouted the corresponding colours in response, showing how far their language skills have come.
The infants also took the opportunity to practice their English by saying some key phrases to the couple, including "Nice to meet you" when greeting them, and by joining in with a childhood classic 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'... which the couple apparently revealed is a big hit with Archie. So much so, it's actually his favourite song. Strong choice, Archster!
Given that Harry and Meghan go to great lengths to keep most things about their children private, this is a pretty rare tidbit to come from the couple about their eldest child.
According to reports, a spokesman for the Duke and Duchess said that they rounded off their visit by thanking the school's teachers for their "tireless efforts" and reminded them to take care of themselves too.
As part of a series of recent public appearances – Meghan is currently campaigning for paid parental leave to be implemented in America and Harry has also spoken at a number of worthy philanthropic events, such as the Global Citizen Festival – the couple gave another rare insight into their little ones.

Whilst visiting the One World Trade Center in September, Meghan shared the sweetest update on "beautiful" baby Lilibet, who is now three months old. After a reporter asked, "Meghan, how's Lilibet?" she replied with two words: "She's beautiful!" How cute?
The mother-of-two also gave an update on Archie, who is now two years old (where has the time gone!), when asked and gave a grin and a big thumbs up.
On that same occasion, Prince Harry was also spotted with an iPad case engraved with a poignant message, reading 'Archie's Papa' [or possibly 'Archie & Papa' – either way, we're here for the adorable nature of it all].
All together now – heads, shoulders, knees and toes! Knees and toes etc etc.
