‘The best' – Meghan honours Harry in heartfelt Father's Day message
Meghan posted a video to Instagram showing Harry alongside Archie and Lilibet, set to the song Have It All by Jason Mraz.
'The best,' she captioned her post. 'Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy.'
The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending quality time with his children through the years.
The duchess made her social media return in early 2025 and regularly shares personal milestones and professional updates through her Instagram account.
Harry and Meghan have been raising their children in Montecito, California since announcing they were stepping back as working members of the royal family on January 8 2020.
The couple have since been at the centre of tensions with other royals, with the duke becoming estranged from his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales.
In a recent interview, Harry said he 'would love a reconciliation' with his family, claiming Charles will not speak to him and expressing concern that he does not know 'how much longer my father has'.
Harry was not the only royal father to receive a Father's Day appreciation post.
William's children earlier wished him a happy Father's Day in a social media post declaring: 'We love you!'
Two new photographs of William and his three children, George, 11, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, seven, were released on Sunday.
The first picture shows the prince and his children posing for a family picture in a garden, while in the second picture, William and the youngsters are shown wrestling playfully in the grass, with the two boys holding their father down and Charlotte laughing.
Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖

In their post, the three children wrote: 'Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!)
'We love you!'
The message was signed 'G, C & L' followed by a sparkly heart emoji.
Kensington Palace said the photographs were taken by professional photographer Josh Shinner in Norfolk earlier this year.
The King and Queen have also wished fathers around the world a happy Father's Day by posting photographs of their own fathers on the royal family's Instagram account.
'To all Dads everywhere, we wish you a happy Father's Day today,' the official account said.
The post shared a photograph of the late Prince Philip playing with a young Charles and the Princess Royal on a swing.
A picture of Camilla and her father Major Bruce Shand was also shared, showing the pair posing for a photograph on Camilla and Charles's wedding day on April 9 2005.
