Archie's Boots Were Gifted to Meghan & Harry During Royal Tour of Australia
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have shared a brand new photo of baby Archie, which was taken in Canada during the Christmas break.
In the snap, Archie is wearing a tiny pair of UGG boots which his parents were given during the royal tour of Australia.
Meghan and Harry received the gift at a welcome ceremony held for them in Sydney back in October 2018.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated New Year's Eve by sharing a completely adorable picture of their baby son, Archie, being held by his dad.
In the photo, which was taken in Canada where the royals have been spending the holiday season, Archie is wearing a cute bobble hat, a warm-looking coat, and a pair of boots. And a source confirms to BAZAAR.com that the boots should look recognizable to fans as they were a special gift to the royals when they first announced Meghan's pregnancy.
Back in October 2018, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry embarked upon a royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and the Kingdom of Tonga. And as they arrived in Australia, the royals announced that Meghan was pregnant with her first child.
As such, the royals received many baby gifts throughout the tour. During an appearance in Sydney for a welcome ceremony at Admiralty House, Meghan and Harry were gifted a pair of tiny UGG boots for their future baby by Australia's Sir Peter Cosgrove and his wife.
At the time, The Sun's royal correspondent, Emily Andrews, shared video footage of the royals receiving the sweet gifts.

Archie's bobble hat was also a royal tour gift, and was made by a women’s group in New Zealand called Make Give Love, that donates a hat for every one that is purchased. The duke and duchess were apparently such big fans of the hat that they have ordered several more after receiving one during the tour.
The fact that Archie is now wearing the gifts, which his parents received way back in October 2018, is beyond adorable. The little royal is growing up so fast, and it's heartwarming to know that his parents are saving all of the presents and mementos that they've been given for their first child.
