Archie will be a royal redhead just like his dad! According to Us Weekly, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's 3-month-old son has inherited the same shade of hair as his father.

“[Archie] has started to grow tufts of hair and they are reddish. He is changing so quickly, but it looks like he’s going to have his dad’s hair color,” a source told the celebrity news publication of the Duke and Duchess' infant son on Friday (August 16). “He is the sweetest little baby and really captures the heart of everyone that meets him."

You can faintly see those red locks growing in from the royal family portraits that released last month.

This morning, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was christened in the Private Chapel at Windsor Castle at an intimate service officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Their son, Archie, was baptised wearing the handmade replica of the royal christening gown which has been worn by royal infants for the last 11 years. The original Royal Christening Robe, made of fine Honiton lace lined with white satin, was commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1841 and first worn by her eldest daughter. It was subsequently worn for generations of Royal christenings, including The Queen, her children and her grandchildren until 2004, when The Queen commissioned this handmade replica, in order for the fragile historic outfit to be preserved, and for the tradition to continue.

Prince Harry, 34, and Duchess Meghan, 36, welcomed Archie back in May, one year after the couple tied the knot in a royal wedding celebration in May 2018. The lovebirds announced they were expecting the next royal baby the following October. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019," Kensington Palace revealed at the time.

Earlier this month, Harry expressed the likelihood of he and his wife having another heir down the line in a British Vogue for the mag's upcoming September issue. While on the topic of having children and its impacts on climate change,Harry revealed, as far as expanding their family is concerned, the pair plan on having no more than "two [children], maximum" — which means Baby Archie could have a little redheaded brother or sister in the future!
