The family visited Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA) ahead of Thanksgiving to help prepare meals for the local community.<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">In scenes reminiscent of royal engagements, the children were pictured getting stuck in with the volunteer work. Donning aprons and baseball caps branded with their parents’ Archewell foundation logo, the siblings helped mix dough and package meals, with Meghan sharing the moments on social media under the caption “Show up, do good.”<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Commentators have dubbed the outing a “pseudo-royal” event because it mirrors the type of community engagement usually undertaken by working members of the Royal Family. It marks a shift in Harry and Meghan\u2019s strategy, moving from keeping their children entirely private to slowly introducing them to public service and philanthropic work on their own terms.<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">The Duchess of Sussex has previously spoken about wanting to raise her children with a strong “social consciousness,” similar to her own upbringing. Sources close to the couple suggest this outing was designed to teach Archie and Lilibet the importance of giving back and understanding their privilege from a young age.<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">The appearance has sparked a wave of praise from fans online, who celebrated the couple’s decision to involve the children in “meaningful” work rather than just photo opportunities. Supporters highlighted that the children are being given the “gift of choice” to participate in charity, contrasting their upbringing in California with the rigid protocols of life in the UK.<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">READ THE FULL STORY: <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/royals\/harry-meghan-joined-archie-lilibet-36313715\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\">Harry and Meghan joined by Archie and Lilibet in rare family outing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n<section data-testid=\"social-follow\" class=\"SocialFollowBar_wrapper__h4k_D SocialFollowBar_left__oJoLE false undefined\">Follow Daily Mirror:<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"Article_h-line__whIla\" id=\"h-line\"\/>\n<aside class=\"Article_right-aside-wrapper__n4JRU\" id=\"right-aside-wrapper\">\n<p><span aria-live=\"polite\" aria-busy=\"true\"><span class=\"react-loading-skeleton\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;--base-color:#88888810;--highlight-color:#8888880d\">\u200c<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span aria-live=\"polite\" aria-busy=\"true\"><span class=\"react-loading-skeleton\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;--base-color:#88888810;--highlight-color:#8888880d\">\u200c<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><dialog class=\"dialog_image-viewer-dialog__sL8lo\" role=\"dialog\"\/><\/main><dialog class=\"CIPAConsentNotice_cipa-dialog__CZfBH\" data-testid=\"cipa-dialog\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"CIPAConsentNotice_cipa-logo__zLA_w\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/nav-web-static\/release-v41-2d15ba2d89cb711ebddf965f66220d2f8a33a851\/public\/logo-reach.png\" alt=\"reach logo\"\/><\/div>\n<p class=\"CIPAConsentNotice_cipa-info__pwt6J\">At <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reachplc.com\/about-us\/our-brands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\"> Reach and across our entities <\/a> we and our partners use information collected through cookies and other identifiers from your device to improve experience on our site, analyse how it is used and to show personalised advertising.
