Meghan Markle Shares Rare Video of Prince Archie Hitting a Major Milestone with Dad Harry

On Father's Day, Meghan Markle shared a heartfelt video of Prince Harry doting on his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Prince Harry is a hands-on father to his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. On Father’s Day, Meghan Markle celebrated Harry by sharing a heartfelt montage of him playing with his children over the years. One particularly touching scene showed Harry teaching Archie to ride a bicycle at their Montecito home. The loving father was seen gently holding the bike from behind to keep his son steady and safe.

Markle captioned the same, "The best. Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy." As reported by People magazine, towards the end of the video, viewers see Archie hit the major milestone as he rides his bike without training wheels, with Harry running alongside. After Archie confidently takes the bike for a spin on his own, Markle can be heard cheering from behind the camera, exclaiming, "Look at them go! Yes, Archie!" Their daughter Lilibet also makes a cute cameo, chasing after her father and brother in an attempt to catch up.

Markle's Father's Day tribute to Harry showed many other touching moments of him doting on his children. According to Today, the clip opens with a photo of Harry hugging his kids in front of a gazebo, with a flyer that reads 'Happy Father's Day.' It then transitions to footage of him cradling his kids as babies and later chasing after them as toddlers. In one scene, the father of two is seen dancing in the kitchen and reading a bedtime story to Archie, who bursts into laughter. In another tender moment, the Duke cuddles Lilibet by the ocean. Harry and Markle are also seen taking their children to meet animals and exploring nature together.

Markle has previously spoken about the sense of normalcy she and Harry hope to provide their children in California. In a March interview with People magazine, she said, "We hosted a little camp because winter break was long! We had several days with different families at our home, and we were able to get to know the parents better, and all the kids could play.” Looking ahead to the next five or even ten years, she added, “Can you imagine? This is just the beginning. Life is full of surprises. And my gosh, in 10 years, Archie will be driving!” 

Markle's Father's Day post reflects a growing trend in which the Duchess appears to be gradually relaxing her strict stance on privacy, particularly when it comes to sharing glimpses of her children. Just a week earlier, she shared a video collage from a family trip to Disneyland. On the occasion of Lilibet’s 4th birthday, on June 4, she also made headlines by posting an intimate video of herself twerking while heavily pregnant with her daughter.
