Prince George’s birthday became an unexpected backdrop for Meghan Markle’s latest social media update when she revealed a series of touching family vacation moments with Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet.
The Duchess of Sussex posted the images on Instagram on Thursday, the caption reading: post, “Summer vacation,” along with a sun emoji.
At the front of the collection from their trip to the United Kingdom was a black and white photograph of Meghan and Harry laughing while sitting together at an outdoor table.
Another showed the Duke of Sussex playing with four-year-old Princess Lilibet in a pool, lifting and tossing his daughter in the water as the couple enjoyed the sun together.
Prince Archie appeared walking barefoot through the countryside.
Another captured him sitting in the cockpit of a plane, showing his growing fascination with aviation like dad Harry.
Meghan also included a close-up monochrome portrait cuddling one of the family’s beloved dogs, reflecting the quieter side of life in their California home.
The post also included snaps of Althorp, the historic Spencer family estate where Princess Diana grew up and is buried on a secluded island in the grounds.
Harry has spoken on several occasions about the deep emotional connection he feels to his mother’s family home, making the inclusion of Althorp images especially meaningful for royal fans.
One detail many royal watchers were hoping to see was a photograph of them with King Charles following reports of their recent meeting.
However, his last Christmas album did not include images of the King.
