Royal Fans React to Meghan and Harry’s Halloween Family Video — Archie and Lilibet Look So Grown Up!
Ever since Meghan Markle returned to Instagram in early 2025, she’s been giving us glimpses of not just her professional endeavors but also some sweet family moments with her son, Prince Archie, and daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Fans always look forward to seeing her little ones, and many are now gushing over a new video the Duchess of Sussex shared of them at a pumpkin patch and later carving a few out with family and friends. Some fans are amazed at just how much Archie and Lilibet have grown over the last several months since Meghan started posting clips of her kids.
But something that’s different about this video compared to others the former Suits star has put out is that at one point, Archie and Lili’s faces aren’t completely concealed.
Here’s more on the post featuring the Sussexes’ children and what royal fans are saying about them.
This is the first time Archie and Lili’s faces have been seen in years
Meghan shared the video of the family’s day out at a Santa Barbara pumpkin patch on social media with The Mamas & the Papas tune “California Dreamin” playing in the background.
In the time-lapse footage, Archie and Lili turn their heads towards the camera. Although the images are blurry, they marked the first time Lili’s face was seen publicly since her 1st birthday portrait in 2022 and the first time Archie’s was seen since the Sussexes’ 2021 Christmas card.
The blurry images appeared in Meghan’s Instagram Stories shortly before she posted a reel of the outing.
Since Meghan and Harry make it a point not to show their kids’ faces, some saw this as a mistake when the duchess uploaded it. But not everyone is convinced that was the case, with one publicist telling The Royalist: “It’s all a bit too convenient. The clip gets attention, the internet explodes, and suddenly Meghan’s brand rollout is on everyone’s radar.”
However, one fan on social media argued that the clip was too quick and they completely missed the children’s faces, saying, “The video was so fast I didn’t even notice them!”
Fans react to the adorable video

One user noted: “While daddy was carving a pumpkin, the kids were playing around” with blue and red heart emojis, while another posted, “Absolutely adorable Sussex family moments.”
Fans gushed about how much the couple’s oldest has grown as well, with others opining that Archie looks just like his dad now.
“He’s such a big boy now!” one user exclaimed, while a second added, “Look at how big our baby has grown.”
“Such a handsome young man!” a third person wrote.
“Archie is literally a mini Harry down to the clothes,” another chimed in.
And a fifth said: “He’s close to being a young man. He’s going to be so tall just like Papa.”
