To celebrate Archie's first birthday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared an adorable video of reading time between mother and son. In the video, Archie sits on Meghan's lap while she reads the classic children's book Duck! Rabbit! to him. Eagle eyed viewers quickly spotted something on the book's cover that suggests Oprah actually gifted this book to Archie.

If you didn't already know, Oprah is actually good friends with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Back in May 2018, Oprah was one of the many celebrity guests at their Royal Wedding. If you look closely the cover of Duck! Rabbit! in the video or Archie and Meghan, there's a small sticker that says 'Archie's Book Club.' Take a look.

Oprah is known for her own book club—called, of course, Oprah's Book Club. When her friends have children, the iconic television host gifts them "100 essential children's books" with a personalized sticker. During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in March 2018, Mindy Kaling revealed Oprah gave her and her newborn daughter Katherine those "100 essential children's books" and described how each book had a small "Katherine's Book Club" sticker placed on the cover. It appears that Archie's copy of Duck! Rabbit! has a very similar sticker.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Meghan and Harry were reportedly planning a big party for Archie's first birthday. Like their Royal Wedding, Oprah was reportedly just one of the many celebrities on the guest list. James Corden, Ellen DeGeneres, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Serena Williams, Elton John and George and Amal Clooney were all expected to be in attendance, as well. If Oprah already gave Archie 100 books, who knows how she would have been able to top that for his first birthday?
