Meghan Markle has released new photographs of Prince Harry with their children to mark her husband’s 42nd birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, shared the family pictures on Instagram on Tuesday morning, set to the song Simply the Best.
“He’s simply the best. Happy birthday, my love,” she wrote.

The pictures offered a glimpse of Harry’s life with Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, following the family’s return to Britain.
One showed the duke and his children riding a quadbike through the countryside, with a supermarket bag strapped to the back.
Harry was also pictured holding Lilibet’s hand during a skiing holiday. Another photograph showed the five-year-old taking a picture of her father as he posed with a basket on his head.
Archie appeared alongside Harry at an archery range, collecting arrows from a target in the sunshine.
Meghan also included a photograph of herself kissing Harry in front of a vineyard, as well as a black-and-white portrait of the duke wearing sunglasses and a cap.
The children’s faces were concealed in each picture as per Meghan’s usual style. The couple are fiercely private about their children and their faces have not been seen publicly in years.
Several pictures appeared to have been taken during the same countryside outing Meghan featured on Instagram over the weekend. That video, set to Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, included a Union Jack and heart emoji.
The posts present a warmer picture of the Sussexes’ new British life, six years after they stepped back as working royals.
The birthday tribute follows reports Archie and Lilibet were moved to a different school shortly after the beginning of term.
Their parents reportedly blamed traffic and concerns about safely managing the school run.
A source told HELLO!: “It’s a real shame, because they absolutely adored the school, the kids and their parents.
“It was perfect for them in every way and the children really enjoyed their time there… they really wanted to make it work.
“But they had to make a difficult decision based on the fact that the team couldn’t make the school run operationally secure.”
The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures has since agreed to review the Sussexes’ security arrangements after the couple became UK residents and enrolled their children in British schools.
It will be the first official review of Meghan’s security since the couple left royal duties.
A recent poll found 63 per cent of the British public believed the Sussexes should pay for their own security guards.
