Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have treated fans to a rare video clip of their young son, Archie Harrison, as he celebrates his first birthday on Wednesday (6 May).

The adorable footage of Archie and mum Meghan has been shared on Save the Children's official Instagram account, to help highlight the charity's Save with Stories campaign, which hopes to raise funds for children and families struggling as a result of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.

In the sweet clip, the Duchess of Sussex reads the children's book Duck, Rabbit! to the smiling little birthday boy, who couldn't look cuter in his white outfit as he giggles along to the story and helps Meghan turn the pages.

What to read next

Prince Harry can be heard laughing in the background, as he films his wife and son.

At one point in the cute clip, Archie reaches down for another book and then proceeds to drop it on the floor, much to the amusement of Meghan and Harry, who can be heard chuckling off-camera.

The accompanying caption reads: "Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex reads 'Duck! Rabbit!' for Archie's birthday."

It continues: "'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!

"Thank you #DuchessMeghan for helping us to raise urgent funds for our coronavirus appeal by reading "Duck! Rabbit" by @akrfoundation, illustrated by @tlichtenheld (published by @chroniclekidsbooks)."

Royal fans were delighted by the chance to get a rare glimpse of baby Archie, and the post has already been inundated with likes and comments.

Happy birthday, Archie!
