Meghan Markle Shocks Royal Fans With Rare Private Video of Prince Harry With Archie and Lilibet
In a rare and deeply personal glimpse into their private lives, Meghan Markle has melted hearts worldwide by sharing never-before-seen footage of Prince Harry in his most cherished role of being a father.
Taking to her recently reactivated Instagram account on June 15, Meghan surprised royal fans by posting a heartwarming video celebrating Prince Harry on Father’s Day.
The touching post offered an intimate look at Harry’s life with their two young children, 6-year-old Prince Archie and 4-year-old Princess Lilibet, a side of the Duke of Sussex rarely seen by the public.
The video opens with two candid snapshots of Harry standing under festive decorations that read “Happy Father’s Day,” perfectly capturing the love-filled atmosphere inside their California home. From there, the montage unfolds into a beautiful sequence of moments that show the Duke of Sussex fully immersed in fatherhood.
Clips show Harry running barefoot along a sun-kissed beach with Archie and Lilibet, his face lit up with pure joy. Another scene captures him guiding his children as they ride bicycles, while others show him petting horses with Lilibet at a stable, reading bedtime stories to little Archie, and snuggling his kids in quiet, tender moments.
Set to Jason Mraz’s feel-good anthem Have It All, the video struck an emotional chord with fans, many of whom flooded social media with praise for the touching tribute. “This is the Harry we don’t often get to see — pure, happy, and at peace with his beautiful family,” one fan commented. Another added, “Seeing him as a father brings so much warmth. Diana would be so proud.”
Prince Harry has always been open about how much fatherhood has changed him. In a previous interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2023, Harry shared a deeply personal reflection about which family members he sees in his children.
In a lighthearted moment, Harry also joked about his children inheriting his famous red hair: “I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids, there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes, but I was wrong! Go gingers.”
The couple, who have often fiercely guarded their children’s privacy, seem to be slowly offering glimpses into their family life as they continue to shape their narrative outside of the royal spotlight. This recent Father’s Day post is one of the most personal shares they’ve made since stepping down from royal duties and moving to California.
While Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royal family remains strained, this post served as a timely reminder of what Harry often cites as his top priority: his family. With Prince Archie now six and Lilibet four, the Sussex household appears to be thriving far from the pressures of royal life in Britain.
The timing of Meghan’s post also comes as Harry’s relationship with his father, King Charles, remains uncertain. Despite several visits to the UK over the past year, father and son have reportedly had limited private contact.
Meanwhile, moments like this latest Father’s Day tribute show the world a side of Harry that’s refreshingly normal — a hands-on dad savoring every precious moment with his children.
Royal watchers continue to speculate whether a reconciliation between Harry and his father may happen, especially with potential opportunities such as the Invictus Games in 2027 on the horizon.
But for now, Meghan’s intimate post serves as a powerful reminder that beyond the headlines and royal drama, Prince Harry is simply a devoted father cherishing every second with his young family. As one fan put it best, “Whatever else happens, Harry has what truly matters — love, family, and happiness.”
