Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, shared a sweet video on her Instagram story on Sunday afternoon, October 11, 2026. The footage features her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, enjoying an autumn countryside walk. It provides a warm glimpse into family life ahead of her planned joint public engagement with Prince Harry in Nottingham.
The short clip captures seven-year-old Archie riding a scooter along a picturesque, tree-lined country road. His five-year-old sister, Lilibet, walks right beside him. A herd of deer appears in the background, adding a touch of rural wonder to the outing alongside the family’s black Labrador, Pula. The video is set to the classic track “My Girl” by The Temptations. Neither Meghan nor Prince Harry appears in the footage.
Preparation for Upcoming UK Engagement
This family moment precedes a busy week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They are preparing for their first joint public engagement in the UK since stepping back from working royal duties in 2020. The couple is scheduled to visit Nottingham on Thursday, a city that holds deep sentimental value for them. Nottingham was the location of their very first joint public appearance after announcing their engagement in late 2017.
Their upcoming itinerary resembles the style of regional visits they conducted before relocating to the United States. Their planned stops include a community recording studio that Prince Harry previously visited in 2025, as well as local organizations focused on community outreach and youth support.
Life Back in the United Kingdom
The Sussex family returned to the UK in August after six years residing in California. They have reportedly settled into a new home in the Cotswolds. Their children have also transitioned to a new school following initial logistical adjustments regarding the daily school run raised by their security detail.
Alongside these family updates, Meghan marked International Day of the Girl on Sunday by sharing a photograph of herself and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai enjoying afternoon tea. She announced that net proceeds from sales of teas and jams from her lifestyle brand, As Ever, on that day would directly support the Malala Fund, a non-profit organization advocating for girls’ education globally.
