A Festive Sussex Family Outing
Just in time for Halloween, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are embracing the fall season, and they’ve shared a rare, intimate look into their family life. Meghan Markle posted a heartwarming video on Instagram showcasing a family adventure to a pumpkin patch with Prince Harry and their two children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet.
Set to the classic tune “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas & the Papas, the video montage captures the essence of a perfect autumn day. Fans were treated to sweet moments, including a shot of young Archie gleefully running through what appears to be a corn maze. Other clips show Meghan pulling a wagon filled with pumpkins and her daughter, Lilibet, while she and Harry, 41, hold hands, watching their son explore the patch.
Pumpkin Carving and Family Fun
The autumn festivities didn’t end at the patch. The video also revealed that the family’s haul of pumpkins was put to good use. Prince Harry was shown getting crafty, carving one of the squashes into a classic jack-o’-lantern. Even Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, made a brief cameo, appearing to join in on the carving fun.
In a separate post on her Instagram Stories, Meghan shared a time-lapse video of Harry meticulously carving the pumpkin, giving another candid look at their hands-on approach to family traditions. The Duchess captioned her main post simply, “Happy Sunday 🎃🧡.”
A Glimpse into Sussex Home Life
This festive outing comes just days after Meghan shared another detail about their family life in Montecito during a Godmothers Bookstore livestream. She revealed a dinner table tradition where she asks her children to share their “rose and thorn”—the best part of their day and something that “maybe didn’t feel so good.”
Meghan noted it’s a “great opener” for conversation, especially with young children. She humorously added that for Princess Lilibet, it’s all roses at the moment. “Our daughter — she’s 4, and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Meghan said. “And now she’s in this moment where I say, ‘What’s your rose and your thorn?’ And she goes, ‘My day was just a blast.’ “
