Nacho, a father-of-four, attended the wedding of Harry and Meghan, and is often pictured posing alongside the Prince at polo matches.
He and his wife Delfina Blaquier were among the first to meet baby Archie, having visited Windsor shortly after his birth.
At the time, the Argentine, who is captain of the royal’s charity polo team, praised Prince Harry as already being an ‘amazing father’.
He told People magazine: ‘He seems to be really, really happy so I’m very happy and excited for him.’

He went on: ‘I’ve been saying this for a long time, he’s a person that loves children.
‘I’ve seen him interact with children for a very long time in all these things that we do in Africa so I’m not surprised he’s an amazing father.’
As well as playing together on the polo field, the pair work closely on Harry’s charity Sentebale.

Nacho has praised Prince Harry widely since the Windsor visit, apparently telling Johnny Hornby, the chairman of Harry’s charity Sentebale, that ‘the Duke couldn’t take his eyes off of him — nor his hands.’
He revealed: ‘The two of them are just in a state of sheer delight over this birth.’
