Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Make Their Charity Event Debut With Meghan and Harry: “Show Up, Do Good”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are starting off the holiday season by supporting their local community, and they brought their kids along for the very first time. Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet made their charity event debut alongside the rest of the Archewell Team at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles. Together, they prepped ingredients, baked cookies, and packaged meals “for community members experiencing food insecurity.”

In a post titled “Honoring the Season through Service,” the Archewell website shared their ongoing commitment to “putting compassion into action—serving and uplifting communities locally and globally.” The Foundation shared, “as we head into the holiday season, we celebrate those working every day to ensure that no one is left behind and where the needs of our neighbors are met.”

Meghan Markle posted a video slideshow on Instagram, captioned “Show Up, Do Good,” and featuring subtle photos of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet mixing and rolling out cookie dough. The charity visit is the first major charity event that Archie and Lili have attended with their parents.

The Duchess of Sussex has always had a passion for helping others during the holidays. In a feature for The Tig, her now-defunct lifestyle website, Meghan shared her traditions of “buying turkeys for homeless shelters at Thanksgiving, delivering meals to patients in hospice care, donating any spare change in their pocket to those asking for it, and performing quiet acts of grace—be it a hug, a smile, or a pat on the back to show ones in need that they would be alright.”
