The public don’t get much of an insight into the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ family life, but the pair have recently unveiled a fresh photograph of their youngsters which has left admirers stunned because of one thing.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have previously expressed their commitment to safeguarding their children’s privacy, historically sharing only the occasional glimpse of Archie and Lilibet.
Nevertheless, recent months have seen the pair appear much more frequently across Meghan’s social platforms – though always with their faces concealed from public view.
Now another photograph of the brother and sister has emerged.
The couple recently participated in an ABC News documentary called The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland, where they revealed some of their most cherished recollections of the famous attraction, which they visited in June to mark daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday, reports the Mirror.

During that period, Meghan posted on her Instagram page with footage and photographs showing the entire family delighting in their excursion with the caption: “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!”
She also provided an exclusive photograph from their visit to the programme makers for inclusion in the broadcast.
The picture captures Lilibet and Archie from behind as they gaze upon a feast-laden table, decorated with Disney balloons and featuring a Little Mermaid birthday cake.
Fans were quick to spot a delightful detail in the latest photo – the impressive length of Lilibet’s hair.
One admirer posted on X, commenting: “Lilibet’s hair is so thick and long. Plus a beautiful auburn color!” Another fan remarked: “They’re getting so big”.
Devotees of Harry and Meghan are always thrilled at the sight of new images of the couple’s children, yet a source suggested to the Daily Mail that there might be a poignant reason behind the Sussexes’ recent increase in sharing family photos.

The insider alleged to the Daily Mail that Harry is “completely heartbroken” over his current relationship with his father King Charles, suggesting that circulating pictures online could be a “a last resort” for Harry, hoping it would prompt the monarch to see what he’s missing.
The source stated: “Harry is completely heartbroken. It’s a last resort. He’s desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he’s missing.”
Last week, Harry met with his father for the first time since February 2024, spending approximately 55 minutes together, fuelling speculation about more frequent future meetings and potential joint public engagements.
But following their encounter, Harry headed to Ukraine where he gave another explosive interview, which, according to one analyst, might create further complications for the Prince.
In a frank discussion with The Guardian, Harry maintained he has a “clear conscience” regarding the bombshell claims he’s made about his family and indicated that his father Charles is now his “main focus”.
Throughout the extensive interview, the Duke of Sussex pondered over his memoir ‘Spare’ and his projects with Netflix. Harry contended that these were efforts by him and Meghan to challenge “one point of view”.
“I don’t believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear,” Harry declared.
However, this openness might have been ill-advised. Ex-BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond suggested Harry would have fared “better to stay zipped about his meeting with his father”.
Speaking to the Mirror, she said: “His first comment was that his dad was ‘great’. And I don’t think the Palace would have any problem with that. But to have been drawn into commenting on whether he had any regrets about his book was naïve.

“He just can’t seem to stop himself from doubling down on his grievances. He was clearly responding to a specific question about whether he’d aired his ‘dirty laundry’ in public. He should simply have said he had no comment, and re-directed the focus of the interview to his visit to Ukraine.
“To be tempted into asserting that his conscience was clear about all that he had said in his book, and that there “cannot be reconciliation before you have truth”, was just asking for trouble.
“I don’t think it’s serious trouble: he didn’t say anything that we hadn’t already heard. But it may well have set alarm bells ringing at the Palace. Nothing, it seems, can be guaranteed to be kept private by Harry.”
