A video montage shared on the Duchess of Sussex's Instagram account offers a look into the family's activities and highlights Prince Archie's American accent. The 34-second clip, set to Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go," includes footage of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their two children engaged in outdoor pursuits.
During one segment, Prince Archie, who was born in the UK but moved to the United States with his family six years ago, is heard saying "I got this" with a noticeable American accent. This occurred while his father was shown preparing a fishing rod. However, some outlets, such as People Magazine, have suggested that in another part of the video, the seven-year-old prince's cheer of "Go! Go!" sounded remarkably British.
The montage also provided a glimpse into Princess Lilibet's fondness for the color pink. The five-year-old royal was seen with her bare feet warming by a fire, displaying a pink pedicure. Later, she is depicted riding a pink bicycle with a doll in its chair, heading towards a group of deer in a park.
Prince Harry is heard calling out to his son, Archie, who runs into the frame wearing a pink shirt and blue wellington boots. The video also features the family's Labrador, Pula, bounding through a wooded area.
In other scenes, Harry and Meghan are shown walking hand-in-hand along a country lane. Meghan is seen turning to the camera, which is presumed to be held by one of the children, and saying, "Come on, you - come on!"
The video, posted on Meghan's Instagram, uses a Union flag and red heart emoji alongside the content. The Duchess was seen wearing Le Chameau boots and a Cyana Convertible Puffer Jacket.
The family has recently relocated to a new home in the Cotswolds, though they will retain their property in Montecito, California. They also own a holiday home in Portugal. The Sussexes have expressed happiness about being back in the UK, and their children have reportedly started at school.
This return to the UK comes amidst reports of a dispute with Buckingham Palace concerning Uganda's withdrawal from Prince Harry's Invictus Games. Insiders suggest Uganda's withdrawal was a direct result of a letter from King Charles, asserting that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are private citizens and not working royals. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's chief of defense, cited the letter in his announcement that Uganda would withdraw from the games, stating he did not want to be construed as opposing King Charles III.
The Sussexes reportedly expressed surprise at receiving the letter from the King, which appears to have ended any possibility of a "half in, half out" arrangement for their return. Sources close to the couple indicated that the Ugandan competitors are the ones suffering from this situation.
