Prince Archie is hitting the slopes with a little help from his dad, Prince Harry!
In a sweet video shared by doting mom Meghan Markle via Instagram on Thursday, March 2, Archie, 6, can be seen practicing his skiing skills with his father.
Archie follows behind the Duke of Sussex, who leads the way on the slopes, and appears to be picking up his new skill as he glides along the snow with ease.
“My boys. Quick learner, Archie! So proud ❤️,” Meghan, 44, captioned the video.
As well as Archie, Meghan and Harry are the parents of daughter Princess Lilibet, 4.
One of Meghan’s best friends, Kelly McKee Zajfen, recently gushed about the Duchess of Sussex’s parenting abilities exclusively to Us Weekly.
“She’s my best friend and such a support,” Kelly told Us at the Alliance for Children’s Rights 34th annual Champions for Children on March 19 in Beverly Hills. “It’s incredible to watch her as a parent.”
“She leads also by example, and she’s such a warm light, and she always says yes, so it means everything,” added Kelly, who was supported by Meghan at the event.
Meghan and Harry, 41, also recently praised a landmark ruling against Meta and Google over social media addiction among minors.
On March 25, a Los Angeles jury ordered the two companies to pay $6 million in compensatory and punitive damages to a young woman who alleged that its platforms were designed to be addictive and caused her harm as a minor. Meta owns Instagram, while Google owns YouTube.
“This verdict is a reckoning,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement to Us at the time. “For too long, families have paid the price for platforms built with total disregard for the children they reach. We stand with every parent and young person who refused to be silenced. Today, the truth has been heard and precedent has been set.”
A jury ruled that Meta must pay the woman — identified as K.G.M. — $4.2 million in combined compensatory and punitive damages. Google was ordered to pay $1.8 million.
Both Meta and Google said they disagreed with the jury’s verdict and expressed plans to appeal.
“Teen mental health is profoundly complex and cannot be linked to a single app. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously as every case is different, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online,” a Meta spokesperson told NBC News in late March.
Google spokesperson José Castañeda told NBC News that the case “misunderstands YouTube, which is a responsibly built streaming platform, not a social media site.”
