Prince William Looked ‘Cross-Eyed’ As A Kid Just Like Prince Harry’s Son Archie

Prince Harry’s son recently made headlines for looking cross-eyed. Royal fans claimed that the 5-month-old’s lazy eyes were inherited from his father.

But by the looks of it, Archie might have inherited his lazy eyes from his uncle, Prince William. In a throwback photo, Princess Diana is playing with a young Prince William while inside the palace.

The Duke of Cambridge looks very happy and excited that his eyes looked crossed. However, when the dad of three grew up, his eyes seemed perfect. It is possible that young Prince William’s eyes just crossed because he couldn’t contain his excitement while playing with his late mother.

Just two weeks ago, a photo of Archie was released after he was introduced by Prince Harry and Markle to the public while they were in South Africa. At that time, royal fans claimed that the young royal is cross-eyed.

One of them said that Prince Harry also had the same eyes when he was much younger. But as he got older, his eyes looked fine. Another fan said that Markle must have been upset with her son's eyes because she wants him to be perfect.

According to Baby Center, it is quite tricky to say that a baby is cross-eyed because it is common for infants’ eyes to wander or cross. The trend is common among newborn babies until they reach their fourth month.

When Archie stepped out in public in South Africa, he was still 4 months old. He only turned 5 months on Oct. 6. Since he’s still very young, Markle and Prince Harry’s son is still getting the hang of how his eyes work.

“If your child has strabismus, his eyes may appear to be "crossed" or one may seem to drift inward, outward, or upward. When the eyes turn inward it's called esotropia, and when they turn out it's called exotropia. Strabismus can be constant (meaning the eyes are always crossed or misaligned) or intermittent (meaning it happens now and then),” the website explained.
