Until now, Archie's face has largely remained out of the public eye. Meghan's recent posts suggest a shift towards sharing more intimate moments of her children's lives. The video shows Archie's red hair clearly, and his joyful personality shines through as he kicks a ball and laughs with Harry. Lilibet's interactions with animals and her playful spirit are also on display, including her feeding carrots to a horse and engaging with goats outside.
The clips provide a rare window into the Sussexes' life since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020. They are seen enjoying family trips in scenic locations, with shots of Archie and Lilibet racing along sandy beaches and splashing in the sea. These glimpses have become more frequent over recent months, indicating a desire to share their family life more openly. Harry's Role as a Hands-On Dad
Harry's involvement as a father has long been praised by friends and insiders. Meghan's tribute reinforces this, showing him in various caring and playful scenarios. Whether reading bedtime stories, dancing in the kitchen, or playing on the grass, he appears to prioritise his children's happiness and wellbeing.
In interviews, Harry has described his children as funny, lively, and full of surprises. In a recent conversation with Good Morning America, he shared that Archie and Lilibet are thriving, growing fast, and making him laugh daily. His friend, polo player Nacho Figueras, noted Harry's full embrace of fatherhood, describing him as a man who loves being a parent. The Significance of Family in the Sussex Life
The post comes amidst a backdrop of increased social media activity from Meghan, who has recently shared more glimpses of her family life. In the past, photos from trips to Disneyland and candid family moments have appeared on her Instagram, often with her children's faces partially obscured for privacy.
This shift reflects a desire to balance their privacy with their wish to share special moments. The inclusion of Archie's face, in particular, marks a notable change, allowing fans to see the boy's cheerful personality and recognise his individuality. The images also suggest a family that values normalcy and joy, despite their high-profile lives.

Michelle Obama Shuts Down Divorce Rumors With Sweet Father's Day Tribute to Barack
Michelle Obama honored her husband, former President Barack Obama, on Father's Day, reflecting on the couple again with warmth and solidarity after months of speculation about their relationship. Posting a throwback photo of Barack posing with daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24, the former first lady shared her thoughts about the family dynamic. A post shared by instagram Her post was reminiscent of what Barack posted for her on Mother's Day in May, when he wrote, "@MichelleObama, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you." The couple's show of unity follows months of speculation about the state of their relationship. Michelle set the record straight as she discussed the rumors during an appearance on the "Work in Progress" podcast with Sophia Bush in April. Her absence from high-profile events earlier this year, such as President Jimmy Carter's funeral and the inauguration of Donald Trump, had led to rumors of a feud. Without referencing these events, Michelle said, "I'm at the point in my life where I'm making a set of decisions for myself.." Some people, she added,"couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing." Michelle pointed to the societal pressures placed on women, saying, "That's the thing that we as women struggle with: disappointing people." She added during the podcast that she "chose to do what was best for me. Not what I had to do. Not what I thought other people wanted me to do." A 32-Year Marriage The Obamas, who were married in 1992, marked their 32nd wedding anniversary in October. In interviews in the past and in her best-selling memoir, "Becoming," Michelle has publicly discussed how the pressures of Barack's political career strained their relationship, and that his wanting more was often too much of a reminder of how alone it could leave her. The mom-of-two reiterated about their marriage during a podcast appearance on "The Diary of A CEO" in May, stating clearly, "That's not who we are," and adding, "I know that about him. He knows that about me." Originally published on Enstarz Michelle Obama Barack obama

'Devastated' Prince Harry Says No Return To UK But Seeks Royal Reconciliation
Prince Harry said Friday he wanted to reconcile with his estranged family, but was "devastated" at losing a court battle over his security that meant he could not return to the UK with his family. Looking visibly upset, Harry revealed to the BBC that his father King Charles III no longer speaks to him because of the security issue and urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to intervene. "Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course they will never forgive me for lots of things. But ... I would love for reconciliation," he said. The prince, also known as the Duke of Sussex, stepped down from royal family duties in 2020, and moved to the United States with his wife Meghan and young son Archie. King Charles III's youngest son has been embroiled in a years-long legal battle after the UK government downgraded his security. But he told the BBC from California he did not want any more legal battles, suggesting he would not go to the Supreme Court. "Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has ... he won't speak to me because of this security stuff," Harry said. Charles was diagnosed with an unspecified cancer in February 2024 and has been receiving weekly treatment. Harry reportedly only found out from the media that his 76-year-old father had been briefly hospitalised with ill-effects from his treatment in April. The prince, 40, said he had been "devastated" by Thursday's court judgement, which threw out his bid to restore fully his police protection while visiting Britain. "For the time being, it's impossible for me to take my family back to the UK safely," he added. Harry was not present for the judgement when Judge Geoffrey Vos dismissed the appeal, saying the duke's "sense of grievance" had failed to translate into a legal argument. Harry's security was now a "more bespoke, and generally lesser, level of protection than when he was in the UK," Vos said. This, however, did not "of itself give rise to a legal complaint", he added. Since moving to California, Harry and Meghan have had a second child, Lilibet, a sister to Archie born in 2019, and rarely engage with the British royals. The government committee which handles protection for royals and public figures in 2020 decided he would not receive the same level of publicly-funded protection when in Britain as he did previously. After initially losing a High Court case challenging the decision last year, the prince was allowed to launch an appeal against the interior ministry. His lawyers argued Harry was "singled out" for "unjustified and inferior treatment" and that the committee did not fully assess the security threats when downgrading his protection. Harry, whose older brother is heir-to-the-throne Prince William, has long been haunted by the 1997 death of his mother Princess Diana in a high-speed car crash as she tried to escape paparazzi photographers. The prince has blamed the press for the tragedy and cited intense media scrutiny as one of the reasons he and Meghan took a step back five years ago. The prince admitted to the BBC "I miss the UK" adding "it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show... my children my homeland." In the two-day appeal hearing last month, Harry's lawyers said the Sussexes had been threatened by al-Qaeda and involved in a "dangerous car pursuit with paparazzi" in New York City, as an example of the security dangers he faces. "There is a person sitting behind me whose safety, whose security and whose life is at stake," the prince's lawyer, Shaheed Fatima, said. Harry called Thursday's court decision a "good old fashioned establishment stitch up" and accused the Royal Household of influencing the ruling. He alleged the security issue had been "used as leverage" to control him and urged his father and the government to help. While Harry has maintained a relatively low-profile since 2020, Meghan has boosted her online presence this year, launching a podcast and Netflix series and making a return to social media. Harry said it was now impossible to bring his family back safely to the UK AFP
