Meghan Markle shares video with Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie as they go pumpkin picking
Posted to Meghan’s Instagram account on Sunday (October 26), the montage captures the family embracing autumn.
The video begins with dreamy clips of rows of vibrant pumpkins, fluttering corn stalks, and a scarecrow guarding the patch, all set to “California Dreamin'” by The Mamas & the Papas.
In one sweet moment, Archie is seen joyfully running through a corn maze. Another clip shows Meghan and Harry walking hand-in-hand.
The duchess looked stylish yet relaxed for the family outing, showcasing her long legs in an oversized padded jacket, teamed with black skinny jeans and black riding boots. She kept her look effortlessly chic by tying her hair back into a low ponytail.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry donned blue jeans, a grey zip-up hoodie, and a white baseball cap. Archie mirrored his mum in an all-black outfit, while Princess Lilibet added a pop of colour in a baby pink matching T-shirt and trousers.
In another clip, Meghan is also spotted pulling a wagon full of pumpkins alongside Prince Harry, with Lilibet riding contentedly inside.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, gently placed a hand on Archie’s shoulder in one clip. In another, the family of four paused to take in the golden autumn scenery together.
The cosy day didn’t end at the pumpkin patch. Later clips in the video show Prince Harry, 41, carving pumpkins at home, rolling up his sleeves to create a classic jack-o’-lantern.
Meghan even included a time-lapse video of his carving session on her Instagram Stories. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, also makes a short cameo.
“Happy Sunday,” Meghan captioned the compilation with a pumpkin emoji and an orange heart.
Fans stunned by Prince Archie’s height
Fans on X shared their thoughts on the sweet family day out, with many distracted by how tall Prince Archie is getting.
One said: “Archie is so tall.”
Another wrote: “Archie looks like he may be tall like his papa.”
Meanwhile, someone else added: “How lovely. I can’t believe how tall Prince Archie is getting.”
Elsewhere, others spotted the same thing about Princess Lilibet – that she almost always wears all pink outfits!
Archie looks like he may be tall like his papa.
One gushed: “Princess Lilibet’s most important task of the day is to pick a shade of pink to wear any given day… and I think she doesn’t compromise.”
Another fan said: “Princess Lilibet in her signature pink outfit, her hair is lovely and long now. Beautiful family!”
A third wrote: “So lovely to see them all. Princess Lilibet in her signature pink, of course!”
Meghan Markle opens up about family life
The wholesome outing follows Meghan’s recent appearance on a Godmothers Bookstore livestream on October 23.
In a conversation with author and college friend Courtney Adamo, the Duchess of Sussex opened up about life with Archie and Lilibet, especially their evening dinner ritual.
She shared that every night, she encourages her children to reflect on their day by sharing a “rose and thorn”, a practice where they talk about the best and most challenging parts of their day.
“Especially with young children, it’s a great opener for when you get to that stage where your kids just give you a yes or no answer,” Meghan explained.
But it seems that four-year-old Lilibet has only joy to report lately.
“Our daughter, she’s 4, and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Meghan said, beaming. “And now she’s in this moment where I say, ‘What’s your rose and your thorn?’ And she goes, ‘My day was just a blast.'”
She also spoke candidly about the importance of allowing children space to be bored, describing it as a gateway to imagination.
