Meghan Markleis loving life as a new mom.
The Duchess of Sussex made her first public outing with 2-month-oldArchieat husband Prince Harry and brother-in-lawPrince William‘scharity polo matchon Wednesday. It was a warm, sunny day, and Meghan mainly stayed under the shade of a tree with her son in her arms.
“She was doting on him, there’s no doubt about that,” an onlooker tells PEOPLE. “She was kissing and stroking him and bouncing him up and down.”
Despite the excitement of the polo match, Archie mainly dozed for his first big outing. Even when he did open his eyes, he was quiet. (Meghan described her son as “really calm”just two days after his birth, and it seems his demeanor hasn’t changed much!)
