But now it looks like we might finally get our first sighting of the trio out as a family, as details of Archie’s christening have been revealed.
According to the Express, the new parents have chosen St George’s Chapel in Windsor for their son’s christening.
The chapel has a special significance for the Duke and Duchess, as it is the same place where the couple tied the knot last May.
It is also the same chapel where Prince Harry was baptised at three-months-old, back in 1984.
The Christening is set to take place in July, but an exact date has not been confirmed yet.
Archie is expected to wear the traditional Windsor garment for his big day, following in the footsteps of older cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
If the little one is christened in July as expected, it will be exactly a year after the last big royal christening, which was Prince Louis back in July.
While we’re not certain on any other details, including who the rumoured godparents would be, one thing is for sure – we can’t wait for our first glimpse of little Archie out and about!
