Meghan Markle, undoubtedly, has the sweetest valentines around.
“These two + Archie = my forever Valentines,” Meghan, 45, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 14, sharing a rare photo of her husband, Prince Harry, holding their daughter Princess Lilibet, 4.
In the snapshot, Harry, 41, held Lili in the backyard of the couple’s Montecito, California, mansion. Lili, for her part, wore a ballet uniform that complemented her bright red hair and held onto a bouquet of red balloons. (Harry and Meghan also share son Prince Archie, 6.)
Harry and Meghan moved to California in 2020 after stepping down from their duties as senior working royals.
“We were looking in this area, and this house kept popping up online in searches,” Meghan recalled to New York Magazine’s The Cut in a 2022 interview. “We didn’t have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house. It wasn’t possible. It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping. It’s like, ‘I don’t want to go and look at all the things that I can’t afford. That doesn’t feel good.’”
Regardless of any hesitations, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex toured the property.
“One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees,” Meghan added to the outlet. “They’re connected at the bottom. He goes, ‘My love, it’s us.’ And now every day when Archie goes by us, he says, ‘Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa.’”
She continued, “You walk in [to the house] and go … joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.”
While Meghan grew up in California, Harry famously lived his entire adolescence in England.
“I enjoy living [in the U.S.] and bringing my kids up here,” Harry said during The New York Times’ DealBook Summit in December 2024. “It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live and it feels as though it’s the life that my mom [Princess Diana] wanted for me.”
According to Harry, his “main goal” is to be “the best dad and best husband” he can be.
“The reason why these things have happened is because of my 10 years in the military and the values and principles I live by,” Harry said, referring to his ongoing fight for security in England. “It is becoming increasingly hard for people that have values and principles as the world starts to change. But the thing I want to be known for is that, ‘He stuck to his values and always stayed true to that principle.’”
Harry has long had a soft spot for his only daughter ever since her 2021 arrival.
“Harry adores Lili and loves reading her bedtime stories and rocking her to sleep,” a source previously told Us Weekly months after Meghan gave birth in June 2021. “He has a real magic touch. Every day just gets happier. There’s just so much love and gratitude and they couldn’t ask for more.”
Weeks later, Harry admitted to Ed Sheeran in an interview that it was “definitely a juggle” raising two kids.
“She’s very chilled and seems happy to just sit there,” he quipped. “Archie is running around like crazy. [We’ve] been very lucky so far.”
