PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle have two children – Archie and Lilibet.
In 2020, the couple decided to move to the US and quit their royal duties, and that is why some may ask whether their children are now US citizens or not.
How old are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children?
Prince Harry's and Meghan Markle's eldest son was born on May 6, 2019, at 05:26 at the Portland Hospital in London.
That makes Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor three years old.
Archie was christened two months after his birth in a private chapel at Windsor Castle with water from the River Jordan.
He is sixth in line for the throne, behind his father Harry.

Following the Queen's death, both Archie and Lilibet took on HRH titles and became Prince and Princess.
It is a protocol established by King George V, the Queen's grandfather, that states that the children and grandchildren of a sovereign have the automatic right to the title HRH and prince or princess.
Are Archie and Lilibet US citizens?
Both Archie and Lilibet have dual citizenships.
Archie was born in England and so had automatic British citizenship, however, since his mother Meghan is American, he was allowed US citizenship too.
Meanwhile, Lilibet was born an American since Meghan gave birth to her in California, however, thanks to her father Harry's British roots, she is also allowed dual citizenship of the US and UK.
The family currently resides in the US, and it is not known whether Harry will eventually get American citizenship too.
