The Duchess of Sussex is gearing up for a summer of ‘relaxing and having fun’, according to a royal source

Meghan Markle is looking for a “remote island” with Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, royal sources have claimed.

The Duke and Duchess relocated to the US four years ago where they are raising their two children, aged five and three respectively.

According to an insider, Meghan, 42, is seeking sanctuary on a “remote island” with her family following Independence Day, which is celebrated on July 4 in the US.

They said: “As usual she and Harry celebrated with the kids but she wants to use the next couple of months relaxing and having fun after a stressful year so far.

“Meghan wants to get away with Harry and the kids to a remote island so they can just have fun as a family without any outside pressure and be in complete luxury.

“Archie and Lilibet are at that age now where they can do more adventurous stuff and Meghan has even talked about a trip to Disneyland as she knows they will be well looked after there and how much the children would love it.

“Lili is very into Disney princesses right now and would be in her element.”

According to the insider, the Duchess of Sussex also wants to have some solo trips with her close female friends.

They continued to tell OK!: “As much as family time is the priority, Meghan also wants to spend more time with her friends and do some girly trips away and have a pampering weekend.

“She’d also like her and her friends to also go on a trip somewhere with the kids, maybe a bit of glamping in one of the National Parks.”

Earlier this year, Meghan announced a new venture with her lifestyle brand, titled American Riviera Orchard.

The official launch is expected in the next few months, with products like jam and dog biscuits likely being available to purchase on the brand’s official website.
