Prince Archie was given a free bike with stabilizers for his birthday, the British owner of a Montecito store revealed today.
Martin and Jennifer Blevins delivered it to Meghan and Harry's $14.7 million mansion along with flowers, balloons and a card for the little boy, who turned four on May 6.
The gift was revealed by the couple, who run the Mad Dogs & Englishmen Bike Shop in Montecito, after they posted a thank you letter from the Sussexes' on their Instagram page.
They did not reveal the bike Archie received, only that it was a Specialized bike, an exclusive brand that can cost up to £8,700 ($11,000). The only one on their website with stabilizers - known as training wheels in the US - retails for £240 ($300).
The married couple appear to be such fans of the royals that according to their Insta they have named one of their dogs Meghan Markle, riding their beloved pup around in a special sidecar attached to one of their luxury bikes. She also greets visitors to their store, used by a host of stars including fellow Brit Simon Cowell.
But the Blevins' have been criticized by some who believe the bike should have gone to a less privileged child. Sussex supporters were upset that they shared the thank you letter, on Sussex headed paper but not signed by the couple, on social media.
One critic wrote sarcastically: 'Too important to write their own letters'. But one supporter said: 'If you're angry a company sent a bike to a little boy on his birthday as a sweet surprise, you're the one who has the problem'.
Jennifer Blevins told PEOPLE that they made the 'spontaneous' decision to give Archie a special birthday gift.
She said: 'He [Martin] went and he got one of our little Specialized kids' bikes — they're really nice little bikes — and he's like, "This one's perfect, it's got training wheels".
'And so he went and got some birthday balloons, and he got some flowers for Meghan and a birthday card, and he said, "Okay, I'm gonna bike over and take it to their house".'
Security then came to check who he was. After checking who Martin was, and the packages, security allowed him to leave the gift.
'He said, "I'm just a British business in town that wanted to give Archie a gift".', she added.
A month later the thank you letter arrived from the couple.
Ms Blevins said: 'A courier came by our little shop on Coast Village Road and he dropped off that letter.
'I was making a joke, I said, "It better be a thank you letter" and it really was. I wasn't expecting that. I had no idea.
'It was so thoughtful because, you know, they took the time to write something personal and not just a generic thank you.
"Every celebrity in that town has bought bikes from us, and they all come through there," she recalled. “None of them sent a thank you letter.
'His little sister Lili can enjoy it too as she grows, it'll be one that both of them like'.
