’Tis the spooky season for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children.
“Happy Sunday 🎃🧡,” Meghan, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, October 26, sharing footage with son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4, at a local pumpkin patch.
In the adorable montage, Archie ran through a corn maze as Meghan pushed Lili in a wagon alongside their haul of gourds. Harry, 41, also appeared in the family footage, leading the kids through the farm to find the perfect pumpkin.
After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned home from the autumnal outing, they took turns carving jack-o-lanterns in the backyard of their Montecito, California, mansion.
Harry and Meghan moved to California from the prince’s native England in 2020 after they jointly stepped back from their duties as senior working royals. Since then, the married couple have prioritized raising their family away from the public eye.
Meghan, however, does frequently offer insight about her family dynamics, including sharing their dinnertime ritual.
“It’s, essentially, at the end of the day where you can say, ‘Here’s my rose, here’s the best part of my day, and here’s my thorn,’” Meghan said during a bookstore event in Summerland, California, on Wednesday, October 22. “Every day is not going to be perfect — no day is. But what are the things that are your highlights and also the things that maybe didn’t feel so good, they hurt a little bit.”
She continued, “Especially with young children, it’s a great opener for, you know, when you get to that stage where your kids just give you a yes or no answer and you go, ‘OK, what’s your rose and thorn?’ And you really can start to peel back the layers and find ways to connect.”
Meghan is also big on remembering the sweetest family moments — no matter how big and small.
“One of our mom’s friends had said to me last year that she just created sort of secret email addresses for her kids that she’ll give to them at some point in their life,” the Suits alum said on Jamie Kern Lima’s eponymous podcast in April. “She would just send them, you know, random pictures, the pictures that you aren’t going to put in a frame. I am sending my kids an email every night.”
According to Meghan, Archie and Lili will receive around 4,000 emails by the time they are 18 and open the inboxes.
“Here’s everything and every moment that I wanted to tell you how much I love you and how proud I am of you,” she said of the content in each letter.
Meghan, of course, also shares family milestones via her Instagram that she launched in January.
“It feels liberating,” she told Emma Grede on her “Aspire” podcast in June. “I have to look again, what was my intention? I came back, started the account in January of this year. Part of it is just being able to authentically share in real time the things that are happening that I think someone might be able to laugh with or enjoy or be inspired by.”
