Meghan gives first look at Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s new UK life
Weeks after their bombshell move back to the UK, the Sussexes have given the world its first glimpse at their return to Prince Harry’s homeland.
The Duchess of Sussex shared a short clip to Instagram on Sunday afternoon (Monday AEST), featuring a montage of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s recent activities.

The 36-second insight into their new lives had no caption but did include a Union Jack flag and love heart emoji across the top of the video, which was set to the Wham! song Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.
It starts with Harry and Meghan walking through a forest holding hands, with the mum-of-two turning around to tell someone – presumably the kids – to “come on”.
There’s a shot of little feet, possibly five-year-old Lilibet’s, heating up by a fireplace before a shot of Meghan in gumboots stomping away in a puddle excitedly.
The princess is then seen riding a tricycle, with a dolly tucked in behind her, alongside her big brother when they spot what appears to be a herd of goats in the distance.

Archie bolts off down the path, leaving Prince Harry behind the camera – like all parents – calling after his running seven-year-old who wants a closer look.

The couple’s black labrador Pula is also seen in the footage, confirming reports the family’s pets moved to the UK with them.
It is not known where the clips were shot, but it is understood to be somewhere near their new home in the Costwolds, in England’s south-west.
Although, there’s the slim chance there could be snippets from their previous visit in July, when they went to the King’s private residence of Highgrove House and Princess Diana’s ancestral home, Althorp House.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are understood to have started school in the UK this week, just as their older cousins did – Prince William and Kate’s kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Prince Harry and Meghan have kept a low profile since moving back to the UK last month, after six years in the US.
Sources said the couple were focused on their children and getting them settled into their new lives and routine.
“There is a lot to do,” the insider told People magazine.
“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.”
