Meghan Markle shared a rare photo of the Sussex family vacation on Instagram. The post featured a relaxing moment with Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet, from Archie in the cockpit of the plane to a visit to Althorp, Princess Diana's childhood home.
People quoted Saturday, July 25, reported that the Duchess of Sussex uploaded an Instagram carousel on Thursday, July 23. She gave a brief caption to the post, "Summer Holiday ☀️."
In the upload, Meghan, 44, shared a piece of her family's trip to Europe. Prince Harry, 41, appeared with their two children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.
The photos show the Sussex family's trip to Portugal and England. One of the most eye-catching moments was a visit to Althorp, the childhood home of Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, as well as her final resting place.
In the photo, Prince Harry walks with Archie and Lilibet in the Althorp area. Harry and Archie are seen carrying a bouquet of flowers.
Another photo shows the exterior of a restaurant in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The Sussex family is said to have vacationed in the area before their most recent visit to England.
The rest of the upload features lighter family moments. There is a beach atmosphere, activities by the pool, to a photo of Prince Harry throwing Lilibet into the air before his daughter was thrown into the pool.
There is also a photo of Meghan and Prince Harry laughing while eating together. In another photo, Archie is seen in the cockpit of a plane with pilots. He is wearing a captain's hat while grabbing the controls of the plane.
Earlier this month, Prince Harry traveled to the UK for a number of charitable activities. One of them is celebrating the countdown to the Invictus Games 2027.
Initially, Meghan and the children were expected to join. However, the open debate between Prince Harry and the palace over security and accommodation made their arrival uncertain until the last moment.
In the end, Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lili went to Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, England. The private residence of King Charles was the location of their reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The meeting is said to be the third between Harry and Charles since the King was diagnosed with cancer in 2024. It was also the first time the king had met his grandchildren in more than four years.
Royal author Catherine Mayer said the meeting showed the family side behind the monarchy.
"One of the peculiarities of the monarchy is that we are all encouraged to forget that they are human beings because they represent an institution," Mayer told People.
"But at the heart of it, this is just a family, and this family has been through an incredible upheaval. Whatever your views on the monarchy, this is a moment most of us want to see," he said.
The visit to Althorp has personal meaning for Prince Harry. In his memoir, Spare, Harry wrote that he once took Meghan to visit his mother's grave for the first time in 2022.
Princess Diana is buried on an island in the middle of a decorative lake called The Round Oval, inside the Pleasure Garden of Althorp Park.
Harry remembers the journey as a moment of bringing his dream girl home to meet her mother. He wrote that he put flowers on Diana's grave, then spoke to his mother in his heart.
"I spoke to my mother in my heart, saying that I missed her, asking for guidance and clarity," Harry wrote.
Harry also wrote that Meghan had knelt near Diana's grave with her eyes closed. When walking back to the boat, Harry asked what Meghan had prayed for.
"Clarity," Meghan said, Harry wrote. "And guidance."
