On September 15, Prince Harry marked his 42nd birthday, and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, decided to dedicate a personal video to her husband on Instagram. In it, she compiled a series of previously unpublished family photographs and concluded the post with a tender love confession. According to the outlet Wave RBC.UA, the video became one of the most touching public messages from the couple in recent times.
A Romantic Video on Instagram
The video begins with a black-and-white portrait of Harry, after which live footage from the Sussexes' family life appears on screen. Viewers see the prince skiing with his daughter Lilibet, riding a quad bike with both children, practicing archery with his son Archie, and spending time by the water with his daughter. Meghan placed a special emphasis on the romantic moments: in one clip the couple kisses in the middle of a field, in another Harry walks hand in hand with his daughter, carrying her bicycle, and in yet another he kisses the girl in a golf cart while Meghan sits up front. The couple's family dog — Pula — also appears in the video.
Family Photos and the Children
In the caption to the post, the Duchess addressed her husband in simple but emotional words: "He's just the best. Happy birthday, my love." In this way, Meghan publicly confirmed the warm relationships within the family and showed her followers how Harry spends time with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet outside the framework of official royal events.
Return to the United Kingdom
Prince Harry is celebrating his birthday in the United Kingdom. According to available information, at the end of August he returned to the country together with Meghan and the children and now lives in a private home near London. This event marked a notable turn after several years of living in the United States — in Montecito, California, where the Sussexes lived for about six years.
Context: Stepping Back from Royal Duties
It is worth remembering that in 2020 Harry and Meghan officially stepped back from their duties as senior members of the British royal family, which determined their subsequent lifestyle beyond the royal residences. Already on September 13, two days before her husband's anniversary, Meghan showed her followers clips from their new life in Britain: in the video the couple holds hands, Lilibet rides her bicycle, Archie runs alongside, and Pula and a fishing outing of Harry with the children are also visible. Taken together, these posts paint a picture of how the family is adapting to life in the United Kingdom.
