Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave royal watchers a glimpse into their family life by sharing an unseen snapshot of their children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, during a joyful trip to Disneyland.
The couple, now living in California, took their little ones to the world-famous theme park in June, just before appearing in a 20/20 documentary about the resort’s legacy.
A Birthday to Remember
One of the most heartwarming moments featured in the documentary showed Lilibet and Archie gazing at a Little Mermaid–themed birthday cake for Lilibet’s fourth birthday.
The multi-tiered cake was decorated with Disney favorites like Ariel and Sebastian, along with the message “Happy Birthday Lil.”
To protect their children’s privacy, only the backs of the siblings were visible in the photo, but it still captured their sweet bond as Archie leaned on his younger sister while she reached toward her cake.
Fans React to the Rare Glimpse
Royal fans were quick to notice little details from the image, especially Lilibet’s striking hair.
Comments poured in on social media with people admiring its thickness, length, and unique color, ranging from auburn to golden blonde.
Others marveled at how much both children have grown, noting how quickly time is passing for the Sussex family.
Sharing the Fun with the World
Back in June, Meghan had already shared snippets of the trip on Instagram, treating followers to a video montage of their two-day Disneyland adventure.
The clips included magical encounters with Disney princesses like Elsa from Frozen, rides on Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Cars, and even a playful visit with Star Wars stormtroopers.
Harry and Meghan didn’t miss out either—they were spotted laughing together on Space Mountain, clearly enjoying the thrills as much as their kids.
Harry’s Reflections on Fatherhood
In the documentary, Harry opened up about the joy of watching his children discover new experiences.
He described the excitement of Archie and Lilibet as they entered the park, marveling at the sights and sounds even before reaching the main attractions.
“To see the kids throw themselves into these experiences… it was amazing,” he said, recalling how their wonder rekindled his own childhood joy.
Remembering Diana’s Legacy
The Duke also reflected on his own magical Disney memories with his late mother, Princess Diana, and older brother Prince William.
He recalled a family trip to Disney World in Florida back in 1993, when he was just eight years old.
With a nostalgic smile, he admitted he had “completely lost it” as a child while meeting the characters.
Meghan’s California Connection
For Meghan, Disneyland holds a special place in her heart as a Southern California native.
She explained that while it was more accessible to her growing up, it was still “the biggest treat in the world.”
She fondly remembered attending a high school grad night at the park, which prompted Harry to teasingly ask if adults in their forties could still join in on such fun.
From Disney to Hollywood Charity
The couple’s lighthearted TV appearance came just a day after another public outing.
Meghan and Harry stepped out together at Kevin Costner’s star-studded charity event, One805LIVE!, held at the actor’s seaside estate in Santa Barbara.
The event drew an A-list crowd, including Oprah Winfrey, further cementing the Sussexes’ place in California’s social scene.
What’s Next for the Sussexes?
Between sharing family milestones and appearing at high-profile charity events, Harry and Meghan continue to balance private family life with their public commitments.
For now, fans are left to wonder—after Disneyland and Hollywood, where will the Sussexes make their next big appearance?
