Harry and Meghan's son Archie is now able to walk and is loving life in the US, according to a royal expert.

The California-based couple, who used to be members of the royal family, have settled into their new life, and the one-year-old is loving it, a friend said.

Yesterday it emerged that Harry and Meghan were winding down their Sussex Royal charity to concentrate on other ventures.

They are living in a £15 million mansion owned by actor and director Tyler Perry, having initially moved to Canada after quitting the royal family earlier this year.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight : "I think he (Archie) is just about walking.

"He's a very happy little boy, he's loving life in LA."

Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are said to be "grateful" for the time they're getting to spend with their young son.

Ms Nicholl said that they will remain at their current address while they look for their "forever home".

In their brief spell as a royal couple, they came under fire after spending millions refurbishing Frogmore Cottage so they could move in.

This week bombshell court papers revealed that Meghan felt "unprotected by the Institution (the royal family), and prohibited from defending herself."

She is currently taking legal action against her dad Thomas after a letter she sent was published in the Mail on Sunday.

The couple, who quit the royal family earlier this year, say they want to concentrate on new ventures going forward - focusing on eco tourism project Travalyst, which launched last year.

They have reportedly filed paperwork for the royal foundation to be officially dissolved, with trustees set to step down.

An insider told Newsweek : "Following previous announcements that The Duke and Duchess will not be using the name 'Sussex Royal' and will not continue with a foundation in its name, paperwork has been filed with Companies House and the Charity Commission to formally close the charity down.

"This will appear on the online public record in the coming days.

"The charity formally enters a period of 'solvent liquidation'."

Harry will remain at the helm until the charity is finally closed, the source said.

Newsweek reports that the couple will focus their attention on Travalyst - an eco-tourism scheme aimed at reducing the environmental damage caused by travel.

Harry and Meghan - who have themselves come under fire over their use of private jets - will be concentrating on how the travel industry can recover from the coronavirus crisis, the source said.
