Meghan Markle Shares Rare Footage of Prince Harry with Their 2 Kids to Celebrate Father's Day: ‘Our Favorite Guy'
Meghan Markle celebrated Prince Harry on Father's Day 2025 by sharing an Instagram video tribute featuring rare family footage of him with their two kids
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4
Father's Day falls a few weeks after Prince Harry said his father King Charles "won't speak to me because of this security stuff" after he lost a key legal appeal to restore his U.K. protectionMeghan Markle is showing love for Prince Harry on Father's Day.
On June 15, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared an Instagram video tribute featuring rare family footage of her husband, 40, with their two kids. Harry and Meghan, who marked their seventh wedding anniversary in May, share son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4.
'The best,' Meghan captioned her post. 'Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy 💕.'
The post was set to 'Have It All' By Jason Mraz. In much of the footage, Harry is seen laughing and playing with Archie and Lilibet, following after Archie as he rides a bike and holding his children in their younger years.
The Duchess of Sussex rejoined social media at the start of the year and uses her personal Instagram handle @meghan to share updates about her professional ventures, her family's private world and her children's milestones.
Prince Harry and Meghan are raising Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet outside of the spotlight in Montecito, Calif., after stepping back from their royal roles in the U.K. in 2020.
Both kids are growing up with Harry's red hair. The Duke of Sussex has said he believes Archie and Lili's red tresses come from his later mother Princess Diana's side of the family, explaining that the Spencer genes are "very, very strong."
Harry shared the insight while appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2023, where he said, "Definitely my mum," after being asked if he sees any family members in his kids.
"The Spencer gene is very, very strong," Harry said on the show. "I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids, that there's no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife's genes, but I was wrong! Go gingers."
Harry and Meghan recently took their kids to Disneyland to celebrate Lili's fourth birthday on June 4, a trip reminiscent of Princess Diana bringing Prince William and Prince Harry to Disney World in Florida in 1993.
The Duchess of Sussex's weekend plans changed after the Los Angeles museum gala she was set to attend on June 14 was postponed amid protests in the city against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. Meghan was set to be honored at the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County's Night of Wonder gala and recognized for her work championing women and underserved communities, and she was expected to deliver remarks.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are celebrating Father's Day as Prince Harry navigates his relationship with his own father, King Charles. The rift first became public when Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal roles in the U.K. in 2020, and the stakes were raised after Harry lost a pivotal legal appeal to restore his state-funded security in the U.K. on May 2.

Prince Harry has long maintained that as head of state, his father could help reinstate the essential protection he seeks. He told the BBC in an explosive interview that King Charles "won't speak to me because of this security stuff" but that he still wishes to reconcile.
"I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore," the Duke of Sussex said then.
"Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has," he continued, alluding to King Charles' cancer diagnosis announced in 2024 and continued treatment. "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile."
The palace has consistently denied the idea that the King has the power to restore the elite security Harry seeks. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex brought their children back to the U.K. just once following their U.S. move for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
In a May 2 BBC interview, Harry also said that he "can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point" without the key security.

King Charles' rift with Prince Harry deepens as Queen Camilla refuses to intervene: experts
Queen Camilla is not getting in the middle of a feud between her husband and his estranged son. As King Charles III and Prince Harry's relationship continues to be fractured, a source recently told People magazine that the 77-year-old "stays out of it." According to the outlet, Prince William also "remains distant" from his brother, who made his royal exit in 2020. "Despite this hands-off approach to the feud, Camilla's stabilizing support is felt in the background as she continues to support King Charles in private," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich claimed to Fox News Digital. "Their relationship is one of mutual reliance and comfort, especially as King Charles faces health challenges and endures the emotional toll of the highly publicized family rift," Fordwich shared. "Camilla's presence reassures King Charles, ensuring he remains composed and confident." According to the outlet, some royal observers believe the king, 76, should make the first move in reconnecting with his son. But there's hesitation as many of the royal seniors reportedly don't trust the 40-year-old and his wife, Meghan Markle. "Camilla's strategy of distance and composure in the situation has been received as both dignified and supportive of the monarchy," Fordwich explained. "[However], her approach doesn't heal the ongoing family divide. She's made a rather deliberate choice to keep her distance from the ongoing and highly publicized feud between King Charles and Prince Harry. She's neither intervened nor taken sides. She remains above the fray, particularly after tensions escalated following Prince Harry's recent interviews, as well as his whingefest, 'Spare.'" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as senior members in 2020, citing the unbearable intrusions of the British press and a lack of support from the palace. After their move to California, the couple began to air their grievances in interviews and documentaries. Harry's 2023 memoir, which detailed embarrassing revelations about the House of Windsor, only worsened tensions with his family. In televised interviews to promote the book, Harry accused his stepmother of leaking private conversations to the media to burnish her own reputation. He accused members of the royal family of getting "into bed with the devil" to gain favorable tabloid coverage, singling out Camilla's efforts to rehabilitate her image with the public after her longtime affair with his father. "That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press," Harry told CBS. "There was open willingness on both sides to trade information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on the way to being queen consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street." Harry's rift with his family burst into the open once more with a raw interview he gave to the BBC in May after losing a court case over his security. In a lengthy and at times emotional conversation, Harry expressed his desire for reconciliation. He admitted that his father, who is battling an undisclosed form of cancer, won't speak to him. WATCH: PRINCE HARRY'S JABS AT QUEEN CAMILLA UNFORGIVABLE FOR KING CHARLES: EXPERT The allegations about Camilla were particularly sensitive because of her role in the breakdown of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana, Harry's mother. The late Princess of Wales once described Camilla, who had a long-term affair with Charles, as the third person in their marriage. While many members of the public initially shunned Camilla, she has won fans by taking on a wide range of charitable activities and has been credited with helping Charles appear less stuffy and more in tune with modern Britain. Writing about his father's 2005 wedding to Camilla, Harry says, "I had complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who, I believed, had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar." Still, he says he wanted his father to be happy. "In a funny way, I even wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she'd be less dangerous if she was happy?" Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Harry's comments about Camilla were a major blow to the king and likely one of the reasons why he iced his son out. "It is well known that King Charles can become very upset and hot under the collar," said Pelham Turner. "Certainly, Charles is upset about remarks made… about Camilla. She has used the code of silence on the subject, similar to her own experiences while there were three in the marriage, as stated by Princess Diana." "Charles can be quite volatile at times when provoked," Pelham Turner claimed. He noted that William's reported decision to turn his back on Harry is "another hot potato for Camilla." "She's wisely stepping back, allowing the in-fighting to proceed," Turner claimed. Royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that Harry's relationship with William is nonexistent. In a 2023 interview with "Good Morning America," Harry said that he hadn't spoken to Camilla in "a long time." "I love every member of my family, despite the differences," he clarified. "So when I see her, we're perfectly pleasant with each other. She's my stepmother. I don't look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and done everything she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake." "She had a reputation or an image to rehabilitate, and whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way to doing it," he told the outlet. Fordwich said that from the beginning Camilla "distanced herself emotionally" after the fallout of "Spare." "Queen Camilla is supportive of King Charles, and these have been extremely difficult times for him as he battles cancer," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "She won't have appreciated Harry's references to her in his memoir and his interviews promoting it. [The revelations] enraged the king to the extent that he evicted the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, their base in Britain." "The problems relating to the royal rift weigh on the king as it involves his wayward son," Fitzwilliams claimed. "It has also been bad for the institution of the monarchy… Camilla will unquestionably be loyal but is highly unlikely to get involved in any peacemaking efforts with a couple she obviously cannot trust." Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People magazine that there has been a desire to reconnect on Charles's side, but "the underlying issue is trust." "The king and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation," she said. Insiders told the outlet that William, in particular, "has shown no interest in extending an olive branch." British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard claimed to Fox News Digital that Camilla is continuing to keep her head down as the family rift deepens. "Camilla is disappointed and sad about Prince Harry's behavior towards her," Chard claimed. "However, she is a tough cookie, has a strong sense of self and doesn't dwell on negativity. After all, she has received far worse public abuse over the years. She rises above any problems and just gets on with the tasks in hand." "She is more concerned with supporting her husband with his health challenges and demanding work schedule," Chard shared. "To move forward, Harry needs to… try and build up some trust and dialogue with his family in private. Until then, there are obvious consequences." "The ball is firmly in Prince Harry's court," Chard added.

We Want To Knight Gary Oldman All Over Again After These Exciting Slow Horses Updates
Some of us are still reeling from the many twists of Slow Horses season four, but in a new interview with Deadline, its leading man Sir Gary Oldman gave fans three major reasons to be excited about the future of the show. First off, there's the fact that season five will premiere on Apple TV+ later this year. Season six, meanwhile, has already been shot, with Deadline's interview with the newly-knighted British actor claiming that the Emmy-winning spy drama has already been renewed for a seventh run. They said that the new batch of episodes is due to begin filming in London this autumn. HuffPost UK has contacted Apple TV+ for comment. Sir Gary described Slow Horses as 'truly the wonderful gift that keeps on giving'. The Oscar winner enthused: 'I just adore the hell out of it, and the people. It is just such a wonderful thing really to be part of.' 'We are so sort of contaminated with the idea of the spy world being and casinos and Aston Marti's that I think it connects with people because the people in it are ordinary people who do heroic things, without any gizmos,' he added. In an interview with BBC News last year, Sir Gary insisted that he is 'in it for the long run' and would continue playing Jackson Lamb as long as he's able. Since it began airing in 2022, Slow Horses has become one of Apple TV+'s flagship shows, winning near-unanimous critical acclaim as well as an Emmy and several TV Baftas. Based on the books by Mick Herron, the show also features Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Hugo Weaving, Jonathan Pryce and Sophie Okonedo among its current main cast. The first four seasons of Slow Horses are now streaming on Apple TV+, with the next instalments set to premiere later this year.
