Meghan Markle celebrated Father’s Day on Sunday with an unseen photo of doting dad Prince Harry with their two children.
The As Ever founded gushed about how “lucky” their son, Prince Archie, seven, and daughter, Princess Lilibet, five, are as she shared a wholesome rare photo from their private family album. Harry was beaming at the camera as he enveloped his two children in a big hug.
Lilibet looked adorable in a floaty summer top and a white skirt covered with floral embroidery. The five-year-old had a pair of white sunglasses on top of her bright red hair, which her brother Archie has also inherited from their father, and a plush toy giraffe at her back.
While Harry’s two children are being raised in Montecito, California, Archie revealed where his football allegiance lies in an England shirt.
“They’re so lucky to have you. We all are,” Meghan captioned the post. “Happy Father’s Day to our one and only,” she added.
Private family album
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tend to keep their family life in California private, they’ve shared carefully selected snapshots to mark milestone moments over the years. Earlier this month, the proud parents celebrated their daughter’s fifth birthday with two adorable unseen photos.
Lilibet was pictured with her bright red hair smiling at her parents as she celebrated her special day in Montecito, California, with her older brother, Archie. “Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili [white heart emoji],” Meghan captioned the adorable pictures.
A few days later, Meghan shared a candid snap of Harry and Archie spending time together playing in the backyard with a giant football. “Springing into summer,” she captioned the adorable snap alongside a collection of other home photos and footage, including one close-up, cropped picture of Lilibet in a shirt with the words “B is for Beyoncé” across the front.
Father’s day celebrations
Across the pond, the royal family marked Father’s Day on social media with a heartfelt tribute to Prince Harry’s late grandfather, Prince Philip.
The official royal family Instagram account shared an old photo of King Charles, then the Prince of Wales, with Philip in 1971. “Celebrating all Fathers, and thinking of those who wish they could be with their Dads, today,” the resurfaced image was captioned.
The photo was taken from when Charles received his pilot’s wings at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire. Philip, who was the Duke of Edinburgh and Marshal of the Royal Air Force, beamed proudly next to his son.
This year’s Father’s Day coincided with Prince William’s 44th birthday, which was celebrated with a special never-before-seen picture of the Prince of Wales with his daughter, Princess Charlotte, 11.
The heartwarming photo showed William beaming with his arm around his daughter in the Kensington Palace gardens after returning from Trooping the Colour on 13 June. “Happy birthday and Father’s Day to the best Papa in the World! We love you very much. C, G, C & L [pink hearts],” it was captioned and signed off with the Princess of Wales, Prince George, Charlotte and Prince Louis’ initials.
