Over the weekend, Meghan Markle shared videos of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, enjoying the British countryside as the family settles into their new life in the UK.
In an Instagram reel set to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” (by British pop group Wham!), the Duchess of Sussex shared clips of Prince Harry and their kids—along with one of their dogs, Pula—exploring the outdoors, including hiking, riding a bike, and fishing. Over the footage is two emojis: A Union Jack flag and a red heart.
While it’s rumored the Sussexes will be settling in the Cotswolds, they will not be sharing where their new UK home base will be for privacy and security reasons. The family will keep their home in Montecito, California, as well as a vacation house in Portugal.
Meghan, Prince Harry, and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet moved back to the country at the end of August ahead of the new school year. A representative for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex described their move as short-term to the New York Times. “On the heels of a wonderful trip with family and friends this summer, Harry and Meghan have decided to spend an extended period in the U.K. this autumn,” the representative said in a statement. “They are excited to have their children spend more time in the country that’s such an important part of their family’s story.”
Following their move, a source close to the couple told People that settling Archie and Lilibet into their new life “has been, and remains, their focus.” The source added, “Everything else will fall into place when the time is right. There is a lot to do. They have just moved halfway across the world, and it’s been really busy getting the kids settled. Their focus has been on that, and will remain on that, for the time being. They are happy to be back.”
