Disney gave Meghan Markle and Prince Harry the sweetest baby gift
Since welcoming royal baby Archie into the world, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have presumably received an abundance of support and gifts. However, nothing may be as sweet as Disney's latest gesture.
The Disney animation studio created a short personalized clip featuring Winnie the Pooh traveling from the Hundred Acre Wood to Windsor Castle to deliver a book to the royal family. When Pooh finally arrives at the castle, he sits next to cartoon versions of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who read his book aloud next to a crib that reads "Archie." The whole 25-second video is undoubtedly adorable.
To celebrate the birth of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, @Disney have created a special Winnie-the-Pooh animation as a gift for Harry and Meghan. The short was hand-painted in watercolour by Disney’s senior principal artist Kim Raymond. Really special🎨 pic.twitter.com/PrY5wlMeBQ

According to Omid Scobie, a royal contributor for ABC who tweeted the video, the video was hand-painted with watercolors by Disney's Senior Principal Artist, Kim Raymond.
Disney's decision to include Winnie the Pooh also has some significance. You see, Prince Harry is known to be a fan of the character. Last year he bought his nephew Prince Louis a rare first addition A.A. Milne "Winnie the Pooh" book for his christening. The book, which was printed in 1926, reportedly cost a casual $14,000.
