As Meghan comes to the end of the Duck! Rabbit!, Archie can be seen looking up at dad Prince Harry and saying “Dada” several times.

The video, which was shot inside the Sussex's LA home also revealed Meghan's sweet nickname for her son.

As Meghan animatedly told the story of 'Duck! Rabbit!' in what appears to be their Los Angeles home, Archie began to wriggle on her lap.

At one point she said: "Let's go to the next page. Look Arch!"

Later on, he seemed to become distracted and reached out to a nearby book, causing the duchess laughingly to exclaim: "Let's finish this book first".

The impromptu nickname reveal - certain to delight viewers - came as the duke, 35, who was filming the two-minute clip could be heard saying "quack, quack, quack" in the background.

The video was shared on Instagram by Save the Children to help raise urgent funds for the charity's coronavirus appeal that has seen other celebs read stories.

They said: "Duck! Rabbit! with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex (and Harry, The Duke of Sussex behind the camera), read to their son Archie for his 1st birthday.

"Happy Birthday, Archie!"
