The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a new video of Meghan Markle reading to their son to mark Archie's first birthday on Wednesday 6 May.  

The sweet footage, posted on Save the Children's Instagram page, shows Meghan reading one of her son's favourite books, Duck! Rabbit!, as they relaxed at home.  

As Meghan read to their son, Harry's voice can be heard as he stood behind the camera, capturing the family moment.

The Sussexes were taking part in the charity's Save the Stories campaign in the UK and the US, which helps bring much-needed support to children who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, all funds raised will benefit Save the Children UK. The charity has put in place an emergency grants programme to make sure the most vulnerable families can purchase basic items and food. 

Watch the video below.
