Prince Harry is seen throwing Princess Lilibet into a swimming pool in new photographs shared by the Duchess of Sussex that document the family enjoying their summer holidays.
Meghan posted a series of images on her Instagram account on Thursday captioned: “Summer Holiday.”
They offer a glimpse into the Sussexes’ lives and show the family taking strolls at the beach, hitting the waves, and exploring on their travels to Europe.
One photo shows the Duke and Duchess laughing together at a dinner table, while another shows Meghan laying on a sun-lounger as she gazes at a dog.

Another photo shows Prince Archie, seven, sitting in the cockpit of a plane surrounded by pilots, as Princess Lilibet is seen strolling through gardens, with her brother and dad up ahead.
In perhaps a nod to the Duchess’s successful Netflix lifestyle show, ‘With love, Meghan’, one photo captures her browsing a homewares shop.

Earlier this month, Meghan and the children flew privately into London from Europe, to join Harry as he visited the UK to promote his upcoming Invictus Games.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were reunited with their grandfather for the first time in four years during their UK trip, as they were hosted by the King and Queen at Highgrove.
The family had been estranged for some time, particularly after Harry’s public criticisms of his father, stepmother Camilla, brother the Prince of Wales, and sister-in-law Kate, in his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary and his autobiography Spare, after he quit as a working royal six years ago.

The reunion occurred on the same afternoon that Prince William was participating in a charity polo match at Windsor, highlighting the ongoing and seemingly unabated rift between the brothers.
Earlier this week, the Prince and Princess of Wales paid tribute to their son Prince George on his birthday, sharing a video of the now-teenager having fun in Cornwall.
George, who turned 13 on 22 July, can be seen climbing rocks, petting his dog, and playing cricket on the beach in a new footage.
“Thank you for all the birthday wishes for George today,” said the Kensington Royal account as they shared the clip online.
It comes hours after Kate and William shared a previously unseen photo of the teenager from last month’s Trooping the Colour as they wished him a happy birthday.
