Meghan Markle and Prince Harry whisked their two young children away for a magical experience at Disneyland, with the Duchess of Sussex sharing a series of images and videos
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry treated their kids to an enchanting day out at Disneyland, celebrating Lilibet’s fourth birthday with a Little Mermaid-themed cake complete with pink icing, as revealed in Instagram snaps shared by Meghan.
The Sussexes’ visit was packed with memorable moments, including a sweet encounter where Archie and Lilibet met Elsa from Frozen, and the family enjoyed classic rides like the carousel. Meghan expressed her gratitude on Instagram, posting, “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” while Peggy Lee’s “It’s a Good Day” set the mood.
The family photos showed them all donning Mickey Mouse ears and soaking up the Disney magic, with attractions like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, formerly Splash Mountain, featuring on their itinerary since its 2024 update.

Their adventure didn’t stop there; they also mingled with Star Wars stormtroopers, and Harry was snapped sharing a joyful grin on a ride next to Lilibet. The family indulged in traditional theme park fare, with a photo showcasing a spread of corndogs and snacks, marking their delightful outing.
Reacting to the snaps, one fan of the couple wrote on Twitter (X): “Meghan and Harry with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet continuing to live their best life . Just normal parents taking their babies to Disney.”
Another added: “I love how Harry and Meghan make their their children’s birthdays so special. She may be 4 and Archie may be 6, but they will always remember that Disney magical experience and I love that this is something can experience.”

Meghan has been sharing a lot more with fans over recent days. The Duchess of Sussex delighted her followers on Wednesday when she posted a video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with Princess Lilibet.
In the clip, a heavily pregnant Meghan is shown dancing in a hospital room to the Starrkeisha song Baby Momma, alongside the Duke of Sussex.
Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili’s fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: “Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!”

Meghan is wearing a black maternity dress and cradles her large bump as she dances, as well as lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs.
The release of the footage is one of the more unusual ways a member of the royal family has marked a royal birthday. Earlier, the duchess posted never-before-seen intimate family photos of “Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer” Lili.
Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling the princess, who was sat on her lap, with the pair both sporting windswept hair, seemingly on a boat.
Another image showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lili as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021. In a later post, she described how Lili’s relationship with Harry was “the sweetest bond to watch unfold”.
The duchess shared two further photos, showing the princess with her father, the duke, adding: “Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!”
One picture was of Harry holding and gazing at his swaddled daughter as a newborn and the other captured the duke and Lili walking hand in hand and barefoot along a sandy path, surrounded by palm trees and under blue skies.
Meghan also wrote: “Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”
The duchess usually only shares photos of her daughter pictured from behind to protect her privacy, but in the photo of her cuddling the princess, Lili’s eyes and the top half of her face could be seen, with her nose and mouth and the rest of her face covered by Meghan’s arms as she hugged the princess.
