Meghan Markle offered a rare and heartwarming glimpse into her children’s lives in Britain on October 11. She shared an Instagram Story capturing Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, walking along a scenic, tree-lined path. The video, released to coincide with International Day of the Girl, showcases the children wearing matching backpacks and enjoying the autumn sunshine alongside the family’s black Labrador, Pula.
The 20-second clip features The Temptations’ 1964 classic track “My Girl” (also known as “I Got Sunshine”). In the video, Archie rides a scooter while Lilibet walks nearby. In the background, a herd of deer can be seen galloping across the path just meters ahead of the children, adding an idyllic countryside backdrop to the family outing. The post highlights the family’s transition back to European life. They relocated to the Cotswolds in the UK after spending six years living in the United States.
Recent Family Updates and New Beginnings in Britain
The latest footage follows a series of family updates shared by Meghan over the past month. In September, she posted a 34-second montage showing Lilibet and Archie splashing in puddles, warming their feet by an open fire, and exploring the English landscape. Prince Harry was also featured in recent snapshots driving a quad bike with both children in the back.
Prince Harry recently expressed that things are going “great” since the family returned to Britain on August 26. In an interview with Canadian network CTV, Harry shared that the children are happy in their new school in the Midlands. This allows him to focus heavily on preparations for the Invictus Games in Birmingham, scheduled for July.
Philanthropic Collaborations and Upcoming Engagements
Alongside the video of her children, Meghan used her platform to mark International Day of the Girl. She shared a photograph of herself wearing a limited-edition jumper bearing the slogan “it’s the little things.” The Duchess announced that Archewell Philanthropies has partnered with the charity Moms Offering More to support families, with proceeds dedicated to charitable causes.
Additionally, Meghan revealed a collaboration with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. She confirmed that net profits from her lifestyle brand As Ever’s teas and jams will be donated to the Malala Fund. The Sussexes are also preparing for their first joint public appearance since returning to the UK. Their upcoming itinerary includes visiting community initiatives and organizations in Nottingham.
