Meghan Markle recently shared a rare and affectionate moment with her husband, Prince Harry, on Instagram, capturing him enjoying a surfing session in California.
The clip, posted on Friday, shows Harry skillfully riding the bright blue waves, at one point gliding beneath a wave as it curled over him. Markle, clearly excited by the sight, playfully captioned the video: “We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this important message: 🦊,” referencing her flirty nickname for Harry, “Fox.” To set the mood, she added Salt-N-Pepa’s upbeat 1993 hit “Whatta Man” as the soundtrack.
The Duchess of Sussex, known for sharing glimpses of her family life, also re-shared the video via Instagram Stories, though she opted to turn off the comments. This marks one of the couple’s more lighthearted and rare posts, as they continue to occasionally offer their followers a peek into their personal life. Recently, Markle’s Instagram activity has stirred some attention, including a throwback video from June that showed her dancing in a hospital gown just before the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet. That post sparked some controversy, with critics mocking the lighthearted nature of the video as the royal couple prepared to welcome their second child.
This latest video comes just ahead of the release of Markle’s second season of Love, Meghan on Netflix, set to debut on August 26. In the video, Markle’s playful affection toward her husband and their family dynamic remain evident. Despite the couple’s occasional scrutiny, particularly surrounding their departure from royal duties in 2020, they continue to openly share their love for one another, much to the delight of some fans and the disapproval of others.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved to California after stepping down from their royal roles, have often been subjects of media attention. While the couple’s candid social media posts and moments of joy have earned admiration from supporters, they have also faced criticism, as seen with the delivery room video shared earlier this summer. In the video, Markle danced to the viral “Baby Momma Dance Song” in a hospital gown, with Harry playfully crossing the frame. Although the video sparked backlash, it was also a reminder of the couple’s willingness to engage with their followers and embrace a more informal, relatable side of their relationship.
Their marriage, which began in a lavish wedding ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in 2018, continues to capture public attention. Despite ongoing tensions within the royal family, especially between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, over Meghan Markle’s influence, the couple remains committed to each other. The royal family’s internal dynamics were further revealed by a recent report, in which Prince Philip was quoted as saying a blunt remark after Harry and Meghan’s wedding. According to an upcoming memoir by former royal butler Grant Harrold, Prince Philip turned to Queen Elizabeth and remarked, “Thank f–k that’s over,” signaling his apparent relief after the high-profile event.
Amid all the public scrutiny and occasional controversies, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to share their moments of happiness and affection. Their social media presence, often filled with candid glimpses of their life in California, seems to reflect their desire to live authentically, on their own terms, far from the constraints of royal expectations. For those who admire their journey, these rare posts of affection serve as a reminder of the strength of their bond.
