Every Glimpse Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Have Shared Into Life with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet

One thing is for sure: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle love being parents.

The Sussexes welcomed Prince Archie back on May 6, 2019. Princess Lilibet Diana — named after the late Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana — followed two years later on June 4, 2021. As their roles within the royal family changed over the last couple of years, culminating in their exit in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been "reluctant" to share photos of their kids, hoping to give them "as normal a life as possible."

But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have happily shared their joy at being parents when speaking at different events, and even given fans some tiny glimpses of life with their growing kids. From Valentine's Day bake-offs to serene moments at home, see some of the most adorable family moments Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared.

Heartwarming Messages

Ahead of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan's big debut on March 4, the Duchess of Sussex received this adorable bouquet signed by Harry and the kids. "Congratulations mumma! We love your show, and we love you!” the message, written on a pink card, read.

“I felt so loved,” Meghan told Drew Barrymore of the gesture. “That [Harry] had planned it in advance to make sure it was there when I got to my hotel room, it was really sweet.”

Visits from Legendary Aunts

When one of your mom's best friends is Serena Williams, play dates are bound to be extra special. On March 1, the Suits alum shared an ultra-cool video of Williams casually playing a game of Candy Land with Lilibet (and P.S. you'll note that the Candy Land box is personalized to "Archie & Lili!").

Gifts for Archie and Lili

Back in February, Meghan gave us a glimpse of some of the gifts she got for Archie and Lili following her trip to Canada for the Invictus Games. The goodies included custom monogramed jerseys for the kiddos, chocolates, as well as Timbits and bite-size donuts from Canadian-based franchise Tim Hortons.

Announcing 'As Ever'

For the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, the Duchess of Sussex treated fans to this adorable photo in which she's seen hand-in-hand running across a lawn with her daughter Lili. The three-year-old keeps up with mom as her vibrant red hair shines under the sun.

Meghan told PEOPLE that she involved the children in the show's filming, even though she taped it outside of their "safe haven" home space.

"Archie did the [filming clapboard]! Sweet moments," Meghan said. "They would also come with my husband and visit me on-set, and I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share. It was really special because up until then, they hadn’t seen me at work.”

Valentine's Day Crafts

On Valentine's Day, the proud mom gave followers a rare glimpse of her kids. In an Instagram Story shared on her official page, the Duchess of Sussex could be seen slicing strawberries into heart shapes and arranging them on a red swirl bagel with a pink spread. By her side was three-year-old Lili, whose little hands could be seen working on her own bagel.

Celebrating Love

Prince Archie also made a brief cameo in the sweet video. The five-year-old could be seen rocking a red T-shirt while throwing shimmering streamers open before a window, where pink and red balloons floated outside.

Meghan told PEOPLE that their mornings together are "fast" as she gets everyone ready, but she does love to find time for a "surprise pancakes" when she can: "They don’t know what’s going to be on the other side when it flips over,” she says, noting that it might be sprinkles or a happy face made of chocolate chips.

Goodbye, Guy

On Jan. 8, Meghan revealed the passing of her rescue dog, Guy, whom she'd had since 2015. "He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom…." she wrote. "He was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort."

In the snap above, Prince Archie can be seen holding guy on a leash while out for a walk with the family.

Missing Guy

In this shot from the same video honoring Guy, the girls can be seen taking in the sunny Montecito weather with Guy and their other two dogs.

Happy Holidays

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet looked more grown up than ever in the above image, shared as part of the family's holiday card in Dec. 2024.

With their three dogs in view, Prince Harry could be seen squatting and bracing for a big hug from Lili, who was running into his arms; while Meghan reached out for Archie who was running towards her.

Happy Times

This serene picture of the entire family was released ahead of Harry & Meghan, the Sussexes' 2022 Netflix docuseries. Prince Harry could be seen holding Lili on his shoulders while Archie was comfortable in his mom's arms.

Meghan has said how much she loves parenting her two "chatty, sweet" kids. "“I love being a mom,” Meghan said on a panel in May 2024.  "Being a mom has always been a dream of mine. And I'm so fortunate that we have two beautiful, healthy, very chatty, sweet children.”

Cherished Moments

The docuseries also gave a glimpse into the family's quiet life and we got to see H & M in full parent mode.

On sharing the Sussex name, Meghan told PEOPLE, “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me ... It is part of our love story. I think as the kids get older, they’re so excited about, ‘Oh my gosh, Mama and Papa, how did you meet?’ I think that will come with time as they get older, but for right now a huge part of our love story is that we share the name Sussex."

Baby Faces

The Sussexes have only shared a very small number of photos that show their children's faces and red hair, including their 2021 Christmas card (below).

“The Spencer gene is very, very strong," Harry told Stephen Colbert of hair color trait shared by many in Princess Diana's family. "I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that, should this go the distance and we have kids, that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes — but I was wrong!”

But Meghan has passed on her own great hair genes as well: a journalist reported in October that Prince Harry said his kids were "blessed with their mother's thick hair" and that Lili would soon be able to sit on hers!

Piano Man

The Netflix documentary also captured a cute clip of Archie singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" while accompanying himself on the mini piano.

Birthday Baby

Archie's first birthday was celebrated with confetti, hats and his grandma Doria Ragland.

Beach Boy

During their 2021 interview with Oprah, Harry and Meghan shared a black-and-white video clip of their growing family playing at the beach with their dogs.

"To have outdoor space where I can go for walks with Archie and we go for walks as a family and with the dogs. You know, we go on hikes or go down to the beach, which is so close," Harry told Oprah.

On the Run

Months away from being a big brother, Archie took the lead on their family walk.

In 2025, Meghan told Drew Barrymore that the kids occasionally emulate Harry's British accent.

"Oh, some of the words that they still say with a British accent," she said. "So they'll say, 'Zebra,' and what else do they say? They have these little moments where it comes out. They have very American accents, but they say words that are just like him, and I think it's adorable. Zebra is a good one."

Growing So Fast

A second birthday photo showed Archie with a bunch of balloons in the Sussexes' large backyard, including the two palm trees that Meghan said sold Harry on the house.

Farm Style

Though Meghan didn't film As Ever, Meghan at her home, she did include products of her own orchard, garden and chicken coop — seen here in a photo with Archie. The name of the coop? "Archie's Chick Inn."

Swing of Things

In 2021, Harry included a clip of Archie on the swings in his mental health docuseries The Me You Can't See, and gave a little insight into his family's impact on raising Archie.

"I got a photo of [Archie's grandmother Princess Diana] in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said — apart from 'mama,' 'papa,' it was then 'grandma.' Grandma Diana," Harry said. "It's the sweetest thing, but at the same time, it makes me really sad because she should be here."

Bookworms

In a video shared for Archie's first birthday, Meghan is seen reading Duck! Rabbit! to her firstborn, addressing him by the nickname "Arch." On a tour of South Africa with baby Archie, she also revealed that they called him "Bubba."
