2 min readHappy Father’s Day, Prince Harry! Today, Duchess Meghan celebrated her husband with a sweet new photo of him and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. “They’re so lucky to have you. We all are,” the As Ever founder wrote, calling her love her “one and only.”
In the image, the prince was captured smiling and kneeling down to embrace both kids at once. In one arm, he held a barefoot Archie—who embraced his heritage with an England FIFA World Cup shirt—and in the other, he hugged Lilibet. The young princess, who recently turned five, wore a little white tank top and skirt embroidered with floral detailing. She carried an animal plushie backpack.
The post comes days after the BBC reported the news that the Sussex family would be traveling to the United Kingdom next month for the children’s first visit in four years. Since stepping back from his senior royal duties in 2020 and moving to California with Meghan and a one-year-old Archie, Harry has discussed his wish to take the young royals over to the U.K. more frequently—though he has been worried about the safety of returning after he lost his security detail. They were last in their father’s home country in 2022 for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“It was with great sadness to both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020,” he said in the statement during a 2023 hearing in London. “The U.K. is my home. The U.K. is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the United States. That cannot happen if there is no possibility to keep them safe when they are on U.K. soil.”
