Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are embracing the fall season with their family in Montecito, California, and their latest adventure has fans feeling festive. With Halloween just around the corner, the Sussexes took a trip to a pumpkin patch with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and Meghan documented the outing on Instagram. The heartwarming video, shared on October 26, captures a day of autumn fun, with the family picking pumpkins, navigating a corn maze, and enjoying each other’s company.
The video opens with wide shots of rows of bright orange pumpkins, guarded by a scarecrow, before cutting to Prince Archie, 6, gleefully running through the maze. The soundtrack for the clip was provided by The Mamas & the Papas’ California Dreamin’, giving the footage a cheerful, nostalgic vibe. As the video progresses, Meghan pulls a wagon filled with pumpkins, with Harry, 41, walking alongside her and 4-year-old Lilibet, who rides in the cart surrounded by the fall harvest.
One of the sweetest moments in the video shows Meghan placing her hand on Archie’s shoulder as the family watches him run through the pumpkin patch, while Harry and Meghan also share a moment holding hands. The video continues to showcase the family’s bond, highlighting their simple joy in spending time together.
After the pumpkin picking, the festivities continued with Harry getting creative and carving the pumpkins. Meghan even shared a time-lapse video of Harry carving a classic jack-o’-lantern on her Instagram Stories. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, also made a cameo, seemingly getting involved in the pumpkin carving fun, adding a warm, family-oriented touch to the entire outing.
In her caption, Meghan wrote, “Happy Sunday 🎃🧡,” spreading the joyful mood to her followers. The video, filled with precious family moments, offers a glimpse into the Sussexes’ life at home, a stark contrast to the public scrutiny they often face. The outing comes shortly after Meghan gave fans another peek into their family life during a livestream on October 23. She shared a dinner tradition she practices with her children, where each of them shares a “rose and thorn” from their day—symbolizing the best part and the moments that may not have been as pleasant.
Meghan explained that the practice is a way to encourage meaningful conversation, especially with young children who might otherwise only offer yes or no answers. “Our daughter — she’s 4, and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Meghan said, describing how Lilibet now responds to the question by simply saying, “My day was just a blast.”
The latest pumpkin patch outing and the dinner tradition both highlight the Sussexes’ commitment to family life and making the most of their time together, away from the public eye. It’s a refreshing reminder that despite their high-profile roles, the Sussexes prioritize family bonding and creating cherished memories with their children.
