Meghan Markle shares new video of Archie and Lilibet enjoying UK countryside

Key points

• Meghan Markle shared a video on Oct. 10 showing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet walking on a path with wild deer in the background.
• The family’s black Labrador, Pula, also appeared in the footage, which was set to the song 'My Girl.'
• This is the second time Markle has shared a glimpse of the children since the family moved back to the UK in August.
• Prince Harry previously stated that the children are happy in their new school after a security-driven switch.
• The family has faced security issues, including a school change and a leaked phone number, since their return.

Background

The Sussexes returned to the UK in August 2026 after six years in California. Their move has been marked by security challenges, including a school switch and a leaked phone number. King Charles has not met his grandchildren since the move, reportedly feeling 'gutted' about the lack of in-person contact.

How outlets are covering it

Page Six and E! News both reported on the new video, highlighting the children's adjustment to UK life. Page Six emphasized the security hiccups and the lack of public appearances with King Charles, while E! News focused on the family's happiness and Harry's commitment to balancing work and family. All sources agree that the children are happy in their new school, but they differ in their emphasis on the challenges of the move.

Why it matters

The video provides a rare glimpse into the private lives of the royal children, who have been largely out of the public eye since their return to the UK. It also highlights the ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family, as well as the security concerns that have affected their move.

What to watch

The family is expected to continue settling into their new life in the UK, with a potential meeting between King Charles and the Sussexes before Christmas. The couple may also face further security challenges as they adjust to their new home.
