Meghan Markle offered a rare family glimpse in her birthday tribute to Prince Harry, sharing a photo montage that included new snapshots of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. According to Hello Magazine, the post showed Archie holding arrows as he tested out archery, while Lilibet appeared on the ski slopes. Another image suggested both children may be developing an interest in photography, adding to the small but growing picture of life at home for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their two young children.
Meghan Markle Shared Archie's Early Interest in Photography
The Duchess of Sussex previously spoke about Archie’s curiosity behind the camera during a 2023 appearance. "Inspiration runs deep. Our four-and-a-half-year-old son – he would say 'I'm not four, I'm four and a half' – Misan was showing him how to do photography the last time he was with us. And, I bought Archie a camera," she said according to Hello Magazine. Meghan then recalled his reaction to the gift. "He said 'But it's not a Leica like Misan's?'" she said. It painted a funny picture of Archie already having strong opinions.
Princess Lilibet Appears to Share Her Brother’s Camera Hobby
Lilibet may be following the same path. In one of the new images, the five-year-old was pictured taking a photo of her father with a Polaroid camera. That detail added another layer to the birthday post, which focused on Harry but quietly included moments from family life. The image suggested photography is becoming a shared interest for the siblings. It also matched Meghan’s earlier comments about creativity in their household, where artistic hobbies seem to sit alongside outdoor activities and sports.
Prince Harry Says Archie Is a "Master" Lego Builder
Archie’s interests go beyond cameras and archery. During a visit to Birmingham Children’s Hospital in July, Prince Harry spoke about his son’s love of building. "Do you know who’s obsessed with Lego? My son Archie – and he's a master builder," the Duke of Sussex told 12-year-old Alec Hill. The comment offered another small update on Archie’s personality and daily routines. It also fit with the broader picture of a child drawn to hands-on hobbies, from construction sets to sports equipment and creative tools.
Prince Harry Has Also Introduced Archie to Rugby
Harry has also spoken before about getting Archie involved in rugby. In an earlier interview, he explained that he wanted mini rugby balls so his son could start learning the game in the outdoor space at home. Alongside that, Lilibet’s appearance on the ski slopes pointed to a more advanced activity for a child her age. Together, the images and past comments build a fuller portrait of the Sussex children’s lives: active, creative, and increasingly confident as they explore different interests with support from both parents.
