Meghan Markle has surprised fans this year by sharing a few rare pictures of her children despite being cautious about their privacy. Known for being extremely protective of Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made the decision to largely keep them out of the spotlight.
However, since her return to social media in January 2025, Meghan has made the decision to give fans an insight into her experience of motherhood, including honouring her children in sweet posts on special occasions, such as their birthdays. Privacy still remains as Meghan’s number one priority, with Archie and Lilibet typically angled facing away from the camera.
Here, the ROYAL NEWS looks at 11 of the rare pictures that the doting mum has shared of her children this year.
Meghan has surprised fans with a new picture of her children last week – alongside a special Christmas message. The adorable family picture shows Harry cradling Archie’s face whilst Meghan bends down to hold Lilibet’s hands. The caption read: “Happy Holidays! From our family to yours”. Meghan’s post was released just hours after Princess Catherine shared her family’s 2025 Christmas card.
Archie and Lilibet were pictured at Our Big Kitchen in Los Angeles, a community run, non-denominational kitchen that prepares meals for those in need throughout Los Angeles, last month. After joining their parents on the outing, Meghan shared a few pictures of her family – inlcuding this sweet one of all four of them.
In honour of International Day of the Girl in October, Meghan posted a sweet video of Lilibet running across a patch of grass, as well as a photograph of her standing alongside her little girl. Dressed in pink, Lilibet can be seen holding a little pink bag whilst Meghan looks down lovingly at her. The caption read, “To all the girls – this world is yours. Do everything you can to protect your rights, use your voice, support each other. We will do the same for you…”
Meghan and Harry were pictured with their children at a pumpkin patch a few days before Halloween. Meghan made a reel on Instagram which included some pictures from the festive outing, inlcuding one of Lilibet being pulled along in a cart full of pumpkins.
Following the release of the second series of With Love, Meghan, the 44-year-old shared a few behind the scenes pictures, including a sweet one of Archie and his little sister watching their mum on a tiny screen and donning ear pieces.
