Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s return to the U.K. has been royally sweet.
And the proof is in the pudding as the Duchess of Sussex shared her first life update since moving back to her husband’s native England with their kids Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.
In a video shared to Meghan’s Instagram Sept. 13, the As Ever founder shared snippets of her family’s time back across the pond, which was accompanied by a British flag and red heart emoji written over top.
The 35-second clip opens with Meghan, 45, and Harry, 41, holding hands as they enjoy a stroll through a forest. The video then transitions to one of their kids warming their toes by a fire.
And if that wasn’t cozy enough, Meghan also shared a video of herself splashing around in the mud as she wears a pair of green rainboots.
Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” then began to play as Lilibet was seen riding her bicycle as Archie runs alongside her.
And family memories are never complete without Meghan and Harry’s dogs Pula and Mia.

Indeed, their pups got acquainted with their new home as one of them sniffed through the grass while Harry and his little ones sat in a nearby canoe as they prepared for a fishing lesson.
Six years after the couple moved their young family from England to California, the pair officially returned to Harry’s home country on Aug. 26.
In light of the couple’s return, King Charles issued a letter of guidance on Sept. 7 confirming that the move would pose “no change” to Harry and Meghan’s status as non-working royals, which they previously agreed to when they moved to the United States in 2020.
The letter, per the BBC, was created after “a number of requests” were received asking for clarification on Harry and Meghan’s status, which was confirmed to be “akin to private citizens.”
But the letter came as a shock to the Sussexes, with a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan telling the BBC that the couple was a “little surprised not to have been told about this in advance.”
E! News previously reached out to representatives for Harry and Meghan for additional comment but did not hear back.
Before the move, Harry was adamant that he would never move his family back to England due to security concerns.
“I can’t see a world where I would be bringing my wife and kids back to the U.K. at this point,” he told the BBC in May 2025. “And the things that they’re going to miss is well, everything. I love my country. I always have, despite what some people in that country have done.”
Meghan also expressed her worry when it came to raising her little ones in the U.K., particularly with school pick-up and drop-off becoming a photo opportunity.
“Sorry, I have a problem with that,” she told The Cut in 2022. “That doesn’t make me obsessed with privacy. That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child.”
