Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, got a taste of another royal experience — a magical one.
Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, recently took their kids to Disneyland, according to Instagram photos that the As Ever founder shared on Monday, May 11.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were joined by her mother, Doria Ragland, as well as kids Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 4, as they explored various areas of the theme park. Meghan, Archie and Lili all wore Mickey Mouse ears for the occasion.
As the family wandered through the park, Archie and Lili were thrilled to meet characters Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. Lili even sweetly embraced Cinderella in a big hug.
Archie and Lili, of course, are royals in real life, as their paternal grandfather, King Charles III, is the monarch of the United Kingdom. Archie and Lili were granted titles after Charles’ 2022 coronation.
Meghan and Harry, however, voluntarily stepped down from their duties as senior working royals in 2020. In that time, the couple relocated from England to Montecito, California.
“We were looking in this area, and this house kept popping up online in searches,” Meghan recalled of her family compound in a 2022 interview with The Cut. “We didn’t have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house. It wasn’t possible. It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping. It’s like, ‘I don’t want to go and look at all the things that I can’t afford. That doesn’t feel good.’”
Despite initial hesitations, Meghan and Harry still went to tour the property.
“One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees,” she added to the outlet. “They’re connected at the bottom. He goes, ‘My love, it’s us.’ And now every day when Archie goes by us, he says, ‘Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa.’ … You walk in and [feel] joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.”
After the couple’s stateside move, they have been constant presences in Archie and Lili’s childhood.
“It’s incredible to watch her as a parent. She leads, also, by example,” Meghan’s best friend Kelly McKee Zajfen exclusively told Us Weekly in March. “She’s such a warm light, and she always says yes, so it means everything. … It’s a beautiful example of friendship, and I love every bit of watching her be a mom and a wife, and she’s just incredible.”
