Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘Getting Closer’ to Major Archie and Lilibet Reveal
For years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have kept their children mostly out of the public eye. But that may soon be changing.
Harry, 42, and Meghan, 45, are weighing whether to send out a holiday card starring all four members of their family, which would give the public its clearest view yet of Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, per Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice Substack on Wednesday, October 7.
On Tuesday, October 6, Meghan shared a home video on Instagram of Lilibet lending a helping hand as the two made fruit spread together. When Meghan asked, “What do you think, Lili?” her daughter answered, “I think it’s beautiful.”
“First you saw glimpses of the children, then more of their lives, and now you’re hearing Lilibet speak,” a source told Shuter. “It feels very deliberate.”
The clip was a sweet moment, and the source suggested it’s a sign that something much bigger could be on the horizon. “They’re getting closer and closer to the big reveal,” the source said, per Naughty But Nice.
The couple, who stepped back from their roles as senior working royals in 2020, are expected to celebrate Christmas in the U.S. with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, 70, rather than spending it with the royal family in Britain, per the report.
Even so, a family card would put Harry squarely in step with a holiday custom his relatives have embraced for years. Prince William, 44, and Princess Kate, 44, regularly release family photos featuring Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.
Another source told Naughty But Nice, “A photograph of Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet together would be a huge moment — and they know it.”
That could make a stateside Christmas even more merry for Meghan. As Star previously reported, Meghan has been struggling with her return to the U.K. and is already questioning whether the family’s move from California was a mistake. The insider said the duchess is “desperately homesick” for Montecito, where she misses the family’s property, the beach and her friends.
