The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently moved back to the UK
Meghan Markle shared a video of her children frolicking in the outdoors as the family has moved back to the UK. Posted on Instagram, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex filmed idyllic clips of fishing, puddle splashing and country walks.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are in clips as the tune of Wham!’s ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ played in the background. A Union flag and red heart emoji sit at the top of the video.
Meghan and Harry are seen walking hand in hand in the first shot, with the duchess turning around to whoever is holding the camera and saying: “Come on, you, come on.”
The footage also shows one of the children sitting by a roaring fireplace. Lili is wearing wellies while riding a bicycle with training wheels with a doll on the back, while Archie is running past his sister in his wellies.
Harry and his children are also seen going fishing. Archie, seven, and five-year-old Lili have started the new school year in Britain after the family relocated from the US a little over two weeks ago, according to People magazine.
A source close to Harry and Meghan told the US publication: “They are happy to be back.”
Harry and Meghan stepped away from the working monarchy six years ago for a new life of personal and financial freedom in the US. Just over a fortnight ago, they moved back, having enrolled Archie and Lili in new schools, with Meghan rumoured to be returning to acting again.
A source close to Harry and Meghan told the US publication that settling the children “has been, and remains, their focus. Everything else will fall into place when the time is right”.
They added: “There is a lot to do. They have just moved halfway across the world and it’s been really busy getting the kids settled.
“Their focus has been on that, and will remain on that, for the time being. They are happy to be back.”
The remarks, the first real insight into the Sussexes’ thoughts on the move, came in the midst of what is seen as growing tension between the Sussex camp and the royal household.
Harry and Meghan were said to be “surprised” by the formal letter sent by the Lord Chamberlain under the direction of the King to senior stakeholders in the Government and military, which described them as “private citizens”.
The duke and duchess, who are waiting to hear whether they will be given taxpayer-funded security, are reported to prefer the term “public figures”.
