Meghan Markle Shares Archie and Lilibet Video From U.K.
Meghan Markle shared a rare glimpse of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in the United Kingdom on October 11, posting a video of her children walking outdoors with backpacks as their family settles into life after moving back from the U.S.
The Instagram Story clip showed Archie riding a scooter and Lilibet walking beside him on a tree-lined path in a park, while the family’s Labrador, Pula, followed nearby. Meghan used The Temptations’ 1964 song "My Girl" as the soundtrack.
According to Elle, the video came after Meghan shared posts supporting International Day of the Girl, including content connected to Malala and Moms Offering More. The footage offered another limited public look at the siblings, whose lives have largely been kept private.
Meghan previously described the experience of raising children and rediscovering childhood moments with them.
"When your children get to a certain age, you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again—it’s super joyful," said Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.
According to Us Magazine, Archie and Lilibet moved to the U.K. after Harry and Meghan relocated from California, with the children starting at a British school before later changing schools because of security concerns.
A representative for the Sussexes said the school change was related to practical arrangements rather than concerns about the school itself.
"The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
The representative also emphasized appreciation for the staff at the children’s previous school.
"The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
The Sussexes’ representative added that the decision was not a criticism of the school or the care provided there.
"This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
Us Magazine reported that photographers were later seen near the grounds of the children’s school, prompting concerns from Harry and Meghan’s team about privacy.
"There is a world of difference between legitimate media activity and photographers walking the perimeter of a school, stopping to look into the grounds and monitoring children as they go about their day," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
The spokesperson described the photographers’ actions as concerning and criticized their approach near the school.
"extraordinarily reckless" said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
"concerning" said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
"unwilling to respect the privacy of children at school," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
The representative continued by referencing another security incident involving RAF Fairford and the impact on the children’s privacy.
"To behave in this manner in these particular circumstances, and so soon after the incident at RAF Fairford [base earlier that week], demonstrates an extraordinary lack of judgment," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
The spokesperson said the search for photographs did not justify the actions around the school.
"Whatever photographs they may have been seeking, this was not only an unacceptable intrusion into the privacy of children; it was an irresponsible and ill-considered way to conduct themselves in the vicinity of a school," said a spokesperson for the Sussexes.
Yahoo reported that Meghan has continued sharing selected family moments while often limiting public views of her children’s faces. The latest video showed the siblings walking through a park area as the family begins its new chapter in the U.K.
The video’s soundtrack referenced the opening lyric from The Temptations’ song.
"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day," said The Temptations’ song lyric quoted in Yahoo’s report.
