Meghan Markle has delighted fans after giving a rare glimpse of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on the set of her hit Netflix series With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, dropped season two of her lifestyle and cooking show on the streaming platform last week, treating viewers to candid conversations with her celebrity guests. Among the lighter moments, Meghan revealed what she misses most about life in the UK, admitted who first said “I love you” between her and Prince Harry, and even laughed off a playful suggestion from Chrissy Teigen that she might have a “secret third baby.”
While Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, don’t appear on camera, Meghan has now confirmed that her children were present behind the scenes — and fans cannot get enough of the sweet photos.
Behind-the-scenes family moments
Posting a carousel of images to Instagram on Monday evening, Meghan shared snapshots of both her work and home life blending together on set.
One picture shows little Lilibet sitting in a director’s chair, her trademark red hair falling over her face as she wears a pink jumper and navy polka-dot trousers. Another image captures Lilibet alongside her big brother Archie, watching the filming take place. In a third, Archie beams while holding a clapperboard, his face covered with a heart emoji as he sports a bright red T-shirt.
Other photos included Meghan and Prince Harry, 40, posing with star chef Clare Smyth — who famously created the menu for their royal wedding in 2018.
Fans gush over Archie and Lilibet’s red hair
The post quickly set social media alight, with fans overjoyed at the rare glimpse of the Sussex children. Many couldn’t help but point out the siblings’ striking red hair, which reminded them of their father Harry and their late grandmother Princess Diana’s family line.
“Lovely! Prince Harry and Meghan have two handsome and beautiful children!” one fan wrote. Another gushed: “The Spencer red is strong in these kids! No one can deny their heritage.”
Others were quick to dub Archie and Lilibet the “ginger avengers” and declare that “the ginger keeps winning!” A supporter added: “Diana would be so proud of Harry and Meghan, and her beautiful grandchildren.”
Teaching values behind the cameras
Beyond their looks, fans also praised the Sussexes for allowing Archie and Lilibet to watch their mother at work. “So adorable. Seeing them on the With Love, Meghan set, watching their mum managing a crew — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are growing up with work ethic values,” one comment read. Another agreed: “It’s great for them to see their mom working. It teaches them early about the value of hard work and independence.”
Not everyone was satisfied, with some critics grumbling about not being able to see the children’s faces. Supporters, however, rushed to Meghan’s defense, reminding others that privacy for Archie and Lilibet has always been a priority. “You don’t have to see their faces to know they’re incredibly cute,” one fan insisted.
Still, the overwhelming response was positive, with one admirer summing it up best: “Ginger directors. This is wonderful. Thank you Meghan, for sharing with us.”
