Spring has arrived for Meghan Markle! Prince Harry‘s wife has taken to her Instagram Stories to share a series of clips filmed outside the family home in Montecito – and her pristine garden is in full bloom.
The first video shows Meghan, 43, walking down some steps carrying a large wicker basket laden with white roses, which she sets down in front of the camera. “End of day harvest,” she wrote in the caption.
In the next clip, the mum-of-two can be seen struggling to carry two baskets – one filled with beautiful blooms and the other with oranges – much to the amusement of Prince Harry, who can be heard laughing as he films his wife.
After gathering her fruit and flowers, Meghan sets the baskets down on the grass to take two more videos. The first is a close-up view of the white roses, as her black Labrador, Pula, plays in the background.
The final piece of footage captured her beagle Mamma Mia sniffing around the baskets of oranges and strawberries. “A beautiful end to the day,” Meghan wrote.
It comes just days after Meghan shared a carousel offering a glimpse of her children, five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet. “Sunday kind of love…with my little loves,” Meghan sweetly captioned her Instagram post.
She shared three images, the first of which showed her smiling as she held a large pink flower, with Lilibet at her side. The camera captured the back of the little girl’s head, highlighting her long red hair.
The post also included a snapshot of Archie, taken from behind as he inspected some pink flowers, and another photo of him holding a bloom in front of his face.
Meghan has been sharing more and more glimpses into her family life. Earlier this month, she shared a video of her casual weekend alongside her kids, where they enjoyed a breakfast spread.
In another clip, Lilibet was filmed cutting a frosted pastry loaf while wearing a red floral pajama top and being watched by her brother Archie. “A special gift ‘papa brought back from Ukraine,'” Meghan wrote over the video.
While the Duchess has been happy making memories at home, she has found herself back in hot water this week after appearing to use her HRH title – despite agreeing not to after she and Prince Harry stepped down from royal life.
Meghan was interviewed by her friend, Jamie Kern Lima, for a podcast shown on YouTube on Monday. During the interview, an image was shown of a gift basket featuring ice cream and homemade strawberry sauce that Meghan had sent to Jamie, along with an accompanying note printed on monogrammed paper that said: “With the compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex.”
But royal fans were quick to note that her sign-off was in complete contradiction to the agreement made by Harry and Meghan when they stepped back from their public duties. A statement released by Buckingham Palace at the time confirmed: “The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal family.”
On their own former Sussex Royal website, Meghan and Harry stated: “As agreed and set out in January, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will retain their ‘HRH’ prefix, thereby formally remaining known as His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.” They added that they “will no longer actively use their HRH titles as they will no longer be working members of the family as of Spring 2020”.
An insider has now said that Harry and Meghan retain their HRH titles but do not use them for commercial purposes and don’t use them publicly. “While they do not publicly use ‘HRH’, this was a personal gift and their titles remain,” they added.
