MEGHAN Markle has shared some sweet videos of Archie and Lilibet as the youngsters played in the pool and fed rhinos at the zoo.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted a brief glimpse into her family life on social media – along with a touching video of her and Harry dancing.
In the heartwarming footage, the Sussexes could be seen basking in the Californian sun at home, before venturing to a local zoo.
Meg initially pans the camera around the garden of their Montecito mansion, revealing large chalk pieces and jugs filled with juice.
Lilibet, four, is then shown cooling off and playing in their swimming pool with her grandmother, Doria.
Another clip, posted on Instagram, shows Harry and Meghan smiling and hugging as they dance barefoot on the grass.
A cute clip then shows Archie, six, carefully feeding a black rhino as the family enjoy a trip to the Living Desert Zoo.
The former Suits star is also shown feeding large leaves to a giraffe at the popular wildlife park.
Carefree Days plays in the background as she posts further footage of her kids and a chaotic kitchen scene.
Meg proudly shows some of the drawings done by the youngsters – as the table is covered in vegetables and other groceries.
As she turns over some of the paper, writing on the next page reads: “Yay! You did it!”.
Last October, Prince Harry and Meghan showed Archie and Lilibet’s faces for the first time in three years.
Posting on Instagram, they shared the rare glimpse into their home life with a Halloween-themed family video.
Meghan delighted fans with the clip of the Sussexes enjoying a day out at a pumpkin patch before they carved Halloween decorations back at home.
But it was the youngsters who grabbed the attention of viewers after Meghan posted the heartwarming footage.
Royal fans were surprised to see their faces as the Sussexes usually photograph their children from behind to obscure their faces.
In a time-lapse, sped-up clip of Prince Harry carving a pumpkin, Meghan and the children could be seen playing around in the background.
And the video captured a rare glimpse of the youngsters with their heads turned towards the camera.
It was the first time a photo of Lilibet’s face was shared publicly since 2022, when an official portrait was released for her birthday.
Earlier this month, the Sun revealed The Duchess of Sussex is planning to return to Britain in July for the first time in four years.
She is due to join hubby Prince Harry at an Invictus Games event in Birmingham if their security is approved.
Her planned summer trip comes as the US-based couple are set to hear the result of their taxpayer-funded security review.
Meghan hopes to be at the one-year countdown party for the Invictus Games, which were set up by Harry for wounded soldiers, on July 10.
She has joined him at previous ceremonies one year before the games in Canada and Germany.
It would be her first time back in the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
Although details of the countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games have not been released, ceremonial events featuring the Sussexes are expected.
But a source said: “Security is always going to be the deciding factor in this.”
We also revealed that Ravec, a committee of police, royal and government experts, is reviewing Harry’s bid for taxpayer-funded armed security.
He has previously said he does not believe it is safe to bring his family here.
Plans are in full swing for Meghan to join him in the Midlands, but only if the review goes their way, with a result expected this month.
But it is not clear yet if their children could also attend.
Archie and Lilibet have not been in the UK since their great-grandmother the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
The Sun also exclusively revealed how Harry, 41, wants his father King Charles to open the Games in Birmingham.
Sources say Charles and his youngest son appear keen to end their lengthy feud.
Meg’s return – momentum is gathering
MOMENTUM is gathering for Meghan’s return as well as Harry’s wish for him and his family to get taxpayer-funded armed security.
It comes amid a thawing of relations between Harry and his father King Charles.
It is clear Harry wants to come here with Meghan and their children, and to see his father, who has been battling health issues.
That momentum will only be stopped if Harry’s security review is rejected.
While sources close to the Sussexes are confident, it’s not a done deal yet.
I sat through Harry’s High Court case against the Home Office and never once did I think he’d win.
But the future of Harry’s Royal Family life in the UK depends on Ravec’s decision — as he says he won’t bring Lilibet or Archie, or possibly even Meghan, back to see the King without it.
In reality, any hope of reconciliation with the royals and his father would be finished if he loses.
His wish for Meghan to join him at the Invictus party in July would also be crushed.
On The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show this week we discussed if Charles was being “emotionally blackmailed” by Harry’s threat that he could not return with his children without gun cops.
Any change to his security would in effect rewrite the Megxit terms from 2020. If he wins, will he make a fresh attempt at a half-in, half-out hybrid role which was denied during the talks?
Over the years, due to his moaning he has been effectively sent to his room, then kicked out, cut off and, most hurtfully of all, given the silent treatment.
Now we appear on a course of giving him what he wants in the hope that the complaining stops.
And next year’s UK return of Harry’s games for wounded personnel and veterans would be the perfect time to seal their reconciliation.
Organisers have contacted officials in competing nations and preparations are said to be in full swing.
A source said: “Prince Harry desperately wants Charles at Invictus — and he wants him to open the games alongside him.
“Harry wants it to happen both for the games, and for their relationship. It’s his dream to have his father by his side.”
Although invites have not been issued, the King and other royals will be asked if they want to attend.
Before that, the Invictus Games Foundation is preparing a string of promotional events in Birmingham this summer.
