But their cousin, [Archie](https://time.com/5615978/royal-baby-archie-christening-explained/ "undefined") Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, just had his [first big outing](https://time.com/5616163/royal-baby-archie-christening/ "undefined"). The royal kids had their first “playdate” Wednesday when their mothers, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge took them to the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day. The families cheered on fathers Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge as they played in the competition. Though Meghan Markle has appeared publicly since she gave birth to Archie on May 6, this is the baby’s first day out and about. [The family has shared](https://time.com/5532649/meghan-markle-royal-baby-latest-news/ "undefined") pictures of Archie after his birth, for [Mother’s Day](https://time.com/5533711/royal-baby-instagram/ "undefined") and [Father’s Day](https://time.com/5607980/prince-harry-fathers-day/ "undefined") on Instagram, and most recently for his [christening](https://time.com/5615945/royal-baby-archie-christening-photos/ "undefined") on Saturday. The polo match was held in Wokingham, England, which isn’t too far from the [Sussex home at Frogmore Cottage](https://time.com/5566675/meghan-markle-frimley-hospital/ "undefined") in Windsor. The mothers watched the game from the sidelines with their children.
