Prince Harry announced baby Archie’s birth to family on royal WhatsApp group

PROUD dad Prince Harry announced the birth of Archie to younger royals via a WhatsApp message, it has been revealed.

Rugby ace Mike Tindall, married to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, said he was told the news on the group he is in with other close relatives.

Mike, dad to daughters Mia, five, and 11-month-old Lena, said Harry is great with his kids — and Archie will not be short of play pals as he grows up.

The 40-year-old World Cup winner said of Harry: “He’ll be a great dad. Obviously, he’s godfather to Lena, but we’ve got a great group of young ones in the family now.”

Yesterday it was confirmed by royal sources that Harry has been changing Archie’s nappies.

The Queen’s expanding brood also includes William and Kate’s kids George, five, Charlotte, four, and Louis, one.

Zara’s brother Peter is dad to Savannah, eight, and Isla, seven, while Prince Edward’s son James, 11, is the oldest of the gang,

Mike, who lives on a 600-acre estate in Gloucester with Zara, 37, said: “Lena and Louis are similar ages and Mia’s sort of in between Charlotte and George.

And then you’ve got Peter’s children, Savannah and Isla, who are just a bit older. James is not exactly the ringleader, but he’s the oldest.

“And Harry, he’s busy, but he loves playing with them all.”

Last night Harry attended the pageant at the Royal Windsor Horse Show at Windsor Castle.
It marks the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth.
