Another photograph showed the five-year-old taking a picture of her father as he posed with a basket on his head.<\/p>\n<p>Archie appeared alongside Harry at an archery range, collecting arrows from a target in the sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The children\u2019s faces were concealed in each picture as per Meghan\u2019s usual style. The couple are fiercely private about their children and their faces have not been seen publicly in years.<\/p>\n<p>Several pictures appeared to have been taken during the same countryside outing Meghan featured on Instagram over the weekend. That video, set to Wham\u2019s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, included a Union Jack and heart emoji.<\/p>\n<p>The posts present a warmer picture of the Sussexes\u2019 new British life, six years after they stepped back as working royals.<\/p>\n<p>The birthday tribute follows reports Archie and Lilibet were moved to a different school shortly after the beginning of term.<\/p>\n<p>Their parents reportedly blamed traffic and concerns about safely managing the school run.<\/p>\n<p>A source told HELLO!: \u201cIt\u2019s a real shame, because they absolutely adored the school, the kids and their parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was perfect for them in every way and the children really enjoyed their time there\u2026 they really wanted to make it work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut they had to make a difficult decision based on the fact that the team couldn\u2019t make the school run operationally secure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures has since agreed to review the Sussexes\u2019 security arrangements after the couple became UK residents and enrolled their children in British schools.<\/p>\n<p>It will be the first official review of Meghan\u2019s security since the couple left royal duties.<\/p>\n<p>A recent poll found 63 per cent of the British public believed the Sussexes should pay for their own security guards.<\/p>\n<p>Read
