Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie already has some very famous fans. In addition to receiving a special visit from his Auntie Serena Williams, he also just got a special message and birthday gift from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Canadians were overjoyed that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed into their family a new baby, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” Trudeau’s statement read. “We look forward to hosting them all on a future visit to Canada. To celebrate the birth, Canada will donate $100,000 to the Breakfast Club of Canada, an organization that works to nurture children's potential by providing healthy breakfasts before school. Every day, the Club helps feed more than 220,000 students in over 1,600 schools across the country, to make sure young Canadians get the healthy start they need to thrive. The donation announced today will help bring the Breakfast Club to five new schools, reaching over 500 more children daily. This represents more than 100,000 breakfasts over a school year.”

After the birth of Archie on May 6, Meghan and Harry requested donations rather than flowers or gifts. So far Archie has only made one public appearance, two days after he was born on May 8. Meghan and Harry showed off their first child to the press at Windsor Castle, and gushed about their baby boy.

“He has the sweetest temperament, he’s really calm,” said Meghan. “It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing.”
