Louis grins as Meghan and Archie glow

LONDON: They may not have planned it but Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were going head-to-head again on Thursday in a Cutest Child contest.

Meghan was first out of the blocks, seen strolling with adorable Archie in her arms and her baby girl proudly displayed in a prominent baby bump.

Kate was close behind, releasing a gorgeous shot of her youngest, Prince Louis, as he prepared for his first day of preschool and his third birthday. It is unlikely Louis (below) cycled in by himself, especially as the bike does not appear to have any pedals.

The young prince is attending London’s Willcocks Nursery School, which is the same school his big sister Charlotte attended.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte now got to Thomas’s Battersea School nearby.

The chance to celebrate Louis’s birthday will be a welcome break for the family, which is still mourning Prince Philip. But it is uncertain what gift will be winging its way to the Cambridges from the Sussexes.

Crisis talks between Harry and other senior members of the royal family were “put on hold” because of leaks “from the Sussex side”, sources claim.
