All the Times Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Shared Rare Glimpses of Archie and Lilibet
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have carefully controlled every public glimpse of Archie and Lili — from Windsor Castle to Netflix — and fans can’t get enough of the royal kids.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aren’t raising their children in the spotlight: The couple have only shared a few glimpses of their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilbet, 4, over the years.
First Glimpse
The Sussexes gave the world a peek at their firstborn at Windsor Castle two days after his arrival. In 2021, Meghan said she was reluctant after being told Archie wouldn’t be given a title — or guaranteed security. “I was very scared of having to offer up our baby knowing [he wasn’t] going to be kept safe,” she told CBS in 2021, per Cosmopolitan.
Docuseries Promo
A sign of things to come? In a promotional video for their blockbuster 2022 Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, the Sussexes showed only the backs of Archie and Lili’s heads in a shot from what was likely their final family visit to their former U.K. home, Frogmore Cottage.
Brand Building
Meghan featured Lili in a prominent photo on her rebranded lifestyle venture’s relaunched website in February 2025 after changing the name from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever, offering a carefully controlled glimpse of her daughter.
Helping Mom
On her newly relaunched Instagram account, @meghan, the mom of two quickly racked up 4.5 million followers by sharing such things as scenes of Archie and Lili helping her prepare a colorful Valentine’s Day breakfast of bagels, berries and a sweet pink dip.
TV Pitch
“When making thumbprint cookies at home becomes a family affair!” Meghan captioned an Instagram post of the kids helping her make treats she handed out to the audience at The Drew Barrymore Show, where she was promoting the March 2025 launch of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan.
Netflix Show
In September 2025, Meghan shared photos of Lili and Archie visiting her on the With Love, Meghan set days after season 2 debuted. “I loved that my children were able to watch me,” Meghan told People. “It was really special because up until then, they hadn’t seen me at work.”
Charity Cuties
Ahead of Thanksgiving 2025, Meghan posted a clip of the kids, in hats emblazoned with their foundation’s logo, joining her and Harry for a day of service at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles, where they helped prepare meals for food-insecure Angelenos. “Show up, do good,” she captioned it.
