Meghan marks Prince Harry’s birthday by posting previously unseen photo of Archie

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has wished her husband Prince Harry a happy 35th birthday with a message on Instagram, sharing a new photo of baby Archie. “Your service to the causes you care so deeply for inspires me every day. You are the best husband and most amazing dad to our son. We love you. Happiest birthday!,” the message, posted on the Sussex Royal account, reads. The birthday post is accompanied by a collection of photos of Prince Harry throughout his life, starting as a baby in his mother Princess Diana’s arms and ending with a previously unseen photo of him with baby Archie and wife Meghan.

The duchess reciprocated a similar post sent by Harry to mark her 38th birthday last month. He posted a message on social media, paying tribute to his “amazing wife.” The message comes a week before the family embarks on a trip to Africa. Harry and Meghan, accompanied by Archie, will head to South Africa together, while Harry will also visit Angola, Malawi and Botswana between September 23 and October 2. It will be their first official overseas trip as a family, as Meghan returns from maternity leave, and will focus on “community, grassroots leadership, women’s and girls’ rights, mental health, HIV/AIDs and the environment.”

Analysis: The world Washington built is fraying. What comes next?

The United States is confronting a global security environment that increasingly resembles the outcome its Cold War adversaries once hoped to produce: a divided West, weakened alliances, economic exhaustion, multiple simultaneous wars and declining confidence in American leadership. That does not mean today’s crises were orchestrated according to some surviving Soviet master plan. The Soviet Union is gone, and the threats facing Washington now come from several different states with different interests. But the strategic effect is strikingly familiar. Early NATO assessments of Soviet intentions warned that Moscow sought to weaken the democratic powers, deny the West a secure European base and ultimately exhaust North America economically. Now, NATO says Russia is again trying to reconfigure the Euro-Atlantic security order through military force, sabotage, cyberattacks, coercion and disinformation. The difference is that much of the pressure now confronting the West is occurring simultaneously — and some of the damage to alliance cohesion is self-inflicted.
