Meghan Markle just shared rare, intimate Easter videos of Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, celebrating the holiday at their Montecito home. The Duchess of Sussex posted the heartwarming clips on Instagram featuring egg hunts, chicken feeding, and adorable decorating moments. The reveal comes as the British Royal Family attended traditional services at Windsor Castle.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Easter Date: April 5, 2026, the videos were shared on Sunday
- Children’s Ages: Prince Archie is 6 years old, Princess Lilibet is 4 years old
- Location: Filmed at the Sussex mansion in California’s Montecito community
- Rarity Factor: These are rare glimpses into the private Sussex family life rarely shared publicly
Precious Moments in the Garden
Lilibet appeared absolutely delightful walking through the Easter garden wearing bunny ears and carrying a plush rabbit. The young princess smiled brightly as she explored the colorful egg hunt. Archie was captured in a close-up video painting an Easter egg on a dinosaur-themed spinning wheel. The creative contraption produced beautiful, colorful patterns as the egg rotated. Both children ran together through gardens with baskets in hand, enjoying the holiday tradition far from the UK royal spotlight.
Contrast with the British Royal Family
While Meghan and Harry’s children celebrated in sunny California, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the formal Easter Matins service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Princess Charlotte, 10, looked absolutely stunning in a camel-colored coat with velvet cuffs and received an affectionate pat from King Charles III. Prince George, 12, appeared taller than ever, towering over his siblings. Prince Louis, 7, walked proudly alongside his family during the traditional procession. The royal service was the first Easter the Wales family attended together since Kate’s cancer diagnosis.

Prince Harry’s Absence and Recent Activities
Prince Harry, 41, did not appear in any of the Easter videos posted by Meghan. Just 24 hours earlier, the Duke of Sussex posted a selfie from a ski trip in the snow with Winter Olympian Eileen Gu and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Harry appeared relaxed and smiling in his black ski suit and goggles during the mid-run photo. The Sussex couple has been balancing family time with personal pursuits as they prepare for upcoming business engagements in Australia later this month.
What Does This Easter Reveal About the Sussex Family Dynamic?
Meghan’s Easter post provides rare, candid access to her parenting style and family values centered on simple, nature-based activities. The videos show both children looking happy, healthy, and genuinely engaged in traditional Easter activities. Observers note the Sussexes’ California lifestyle emphasizes private moments and selective sharing, quite different from the formal public duties displayed by senior royals at Windsor Castle. The children have had minimal contact with their paternal cousins, making these family-focused holidays central to their childhood experience. Later this month, Meghan will be the star attraction at a women-only event in Sydney, while Harry addresses a mental health conference in Melbourne. The couple’s children will remain in California during the Australian trip.
