Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have shared a video offering a glimpse into their family life in the United Kingdom, featuring their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, engaged in various outdoor activities. The compilation, posted on Meghan's Instagram account, shows the family enjoying British country life, including splashing in muddy puddles, walking their Labrador, Pula, through wooded areas, and embarking on a fishing trip.
The video begins with the couple walking through woods, with Meghan playfully beckoning the camera, presumably held by one of the children. Princess Lilibet, 5, is seen warming her feet by a fire, while wellington-clad feet, thought to be Archie's, splash in a muddy puddle.
Further scenes depict Princess Lilibet riding a pink bicycle with a doll in its basket towards a group of deer. Prince Harry calls out to his son, Archie, 7, who runs into the frame wearing a pink shirt and blue wellies. The family's dog, Pula, is also shown bounding through a wooded path. The video is set to the song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!.
The video concludes with the family in a rowboat on a lake, with Harry preparing a fishing rod and Pula on the bank. Archie is heard remarking, "I got this," in an American accent as fish are seen in the water.
The video's caption features a Union Flag and heart emoji side-by-side. The couple has reportedly expressed happiness about being back in the UK, with Archie believed to have started school. This return occurs despite ongoing discussions with Buckingham Palace concerning Uganda's withdrawal from the Invictus Games. Sources suggest this withdrawal was a consequence of a letter from King Charles clarifying that the couple are considered "private citizens" and not part of the royal institution, despite earlier considerations of a "half in, half out" arrangement.
Prince Harry is scheduled to attend the inaugural "Invictus Spirit" Awards on Thursday, September 17, and there is speculation that Meghan might join him at the event.
