Dressed in a charming pink outfit and topped with playful bunny ears, the young princess’s long red hair flowed behind her as she ran, catching the light and immediately drawing attention from fans.

Beside her, Archie looked every bit the protective older brother, dressed casually in a navy jacket as he kept pace, clutching his Easter basket with determination.

The setting itself felt like something out of a storybook, with manicured lawns, towering trees and soft spring light creating the perfect backdrop for the children’s adventure.

While Meghan and Harry have remained fiercely protective of their children’s privacy, moments like these offer a carefully curated peek into their family life in California, one grounded in simple traditions and shared joy.

The post comes after Meghan shared wholesome home video footage from her home in California, where she lives with Prince Harry and their two children.

 Her daughter made a rare appearance in one clip taken from a visit to their chicken coop at home. Harry and Meghan have had rescued hens in a coop on their property since 2021, which they previously revealed is called ‘Archie’s Chick Inn’ as a sweet nod to their son.

Meghan giggled behind the camera as she filmed the chickens running around the coop on a sunny California day.

At the very end of the short clip, Lilibet appeared in frame with her fiery red hair out as she bent down in her gumboots to try pat one of the chickens. The footage cut off just as the young royal started to speak.

Meghan is modelling to her daughter from a young age the importance of using your voice. During her 2024 visit to Colombia, Meghan said: “Part of the role modelling that I certainly try to do as a mother is to encourage our daughter – who, at three, she has found her voice.”

She continued: “And we’re so proud of that because that is how we, as I was saying, create the conditions in which there’s a ripple effect of young girls and young women knowing that if someone else is encouraging them to use their voice and be heard, that’s what they’re going to do. And they’re going to create a different environment than so many of us grew up in.”
