Prince Harry and Meghan Markle share an unseen picture of Archie

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared an unseen picture of baby Archie in a highlight reel of their top moments of 2019.

Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, posted the picture tonight, as 2019 drew to a close, choosing Coldplay’s 2003 sombre track ‘Clocks’.

The candid snap shows Prince Harry standing by a lake in what is thought to be their Canadian Christmas hideaway of Vancouver Island, as he smiles at a beaming Archie, who is dressed in an adorable beanie hat, a beige anorak and little sheepskin boots gifted to them by the Australian Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove.

Sharing the post, which racked up over 260,000 likes in half an hour, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wrote: ‘2019 in review. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and thanking you for your continued support!

The compilation video runs alongside the hit song Clocks, which includes the lyrics: ‘The lights go out and I can’t be saved, Tides that I tried to swim against, Have brought me down upon my knees, Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing’.

Some fans claim the song appears to be about despair, hopelessneess and doubt, as the protagonist pleads for salvation.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent their first Christmas with baby Archie in a $14.1 million waterfront mansion owned by a mystery multi-millionaire, DailyMail.com revealed last week.

The royal family and the Duchess of Sussex’s mother Doria Ragland enjoyed time in one of the most idyllic spots on Vancouver Island.

Their presence in Canada had been confirmed before Christmas by prime minster Justin Trudeau.

The eight-bedroom gated estate on Vancouver Island, Canada, boasts two beaches and views across the peninsula from the four acre property.

Harry and Meghan’s presence in North Saanich was first revealed by local restaurateur Pierre Koffel and his wife Bev, who reportedly turned away the royal couple from their high-end restaurant because of their intense security requirements.

Koffel says he was merely visited by the royals’ security team and didn’t decline their reservations – but has still faced a backlash with ‘hundreds’ of emails and ‘dozens’ of phone calls from Harry and Meghan fans berating him for denying their favorite royals their Christmas dinner.

The chef and co-owner of the Deep Cove Chalet in North Saanich told DailyMail.com that he and his wife were tricked into revealing the royals’ secret getaway, and have now received ‘hundreds of emails, tens of phonecalls’ accusing he and his wife of being ‘terrible people’.

The restaurateur’s wife, Bev, told the Vancouver Sun on Christmas Eve that they had been visited by Harry and Meghan’s security detail, casing their restaurant for a potential dinner spot for the couple.

The royals have had an action-packed year, with the high point being the arrival of baby Archie on May 6 weighing 7lb 3oz.

Two days later baby Archie was introduced to the world at a photocall in the Castle’s St George’s Hall, with Meghan declaring: ‘It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world so I’m really happy.’ 

Keen to give him a normal life, Harry and Meghan chose not to use the courtesy title Earl Dumbarton or style him Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, making a personal decision he should be a plain Master. 

Meanwhile September saw Vogue releasing a special issue guest edited by Meghan Markle, before the Duchess released a fashion line for charity Smart Works.

Coldplay’s Clocks lyrics 

The lights go out and I can’t be saved

Tides that I tried to swim against

Have brought me down upon my knees

Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of the things unsaid

Shoot an apple off my head and a

Trouble that can’t be named

A tiger’s waiting to be tamed, singing

You are, you are

Confusion that never stops

The closing walls and the ticking clocks gonna

Come back and take you home

I could not stop, that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas

Cursed missed opportunities am I

A part of the cure

Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are, you are

You are, you are

You are, you are

And nothing else compares

And nothing else compares

And nothing else compares

You are, you are

Home, home, where I wanted to go

Home, home, where I wanted to go

Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)

Home, home, where I wanted to go (You are)
