From Town & Country

Once again, the royals have gathered at St. George's Chapel to celebrate a wedding-this time for Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and her fiancé Thomas Kingston.

Sadly, one particularly beloved royal family members weren't able to make it: Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex have a very reasonable excuse, though, as she's tending to their weeks-old baby, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

That said, Prince Harry was able to make it to the celebration. He just arrived at Windsor Castle. His attendance was likely influenced by the fact that it is so close to their new home, Frogmore Cottage.

Since the couple presented their first child to the world at a photo call on May 8, Harry has attended a couple events, while Meghan has remained out of the spotlight. Even Harry's recent engagements have often been tied to causes close to his heart, like the Invictus Games, an adaptive sporting competition for veterans, or the OXSRAD Sports and Leisure Centre, which his mother Princess Diana opened 30 years ago.

As for life at home, it sounds like things are going swimmingly. Recently, a fan Harry spoke with revealed that the prince loves being a dad. "He said he just feels part of the family and he can’t imagine life without his son," she said.

Both Harry and Meghan have also mentioned that Archie's been quiet, which has undoubtedly helped the couple adapt to parenthood. During Harry's trip to the Netherlands, where the 2020 Invictus Games will be held, he reportedly told a Games competitor that "he’s really happy that his son is so far very quiet."

During their short interview with the press as a new family, Meghan echoed that sentiment. "He has the sweetest temperament," she said. "He’s really calm."
