Meghan Markle has shared a heartfelt Father's Day tribute to Prince Harry with never-before-seen clips of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's faces.
The Duchess of Sussex continued her move away from hiding her children on social media on Monday by sharing a video on Instagram of the Duke of Sussex doting on Archie and Lilibet, with their smiling faces in full view.
Meghan described her husband as "the best".
"Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy," she wrote in the caption.
Clips to the tune of Have It All by Jason Mraz showed Harry holding Archie and Lilibet above a large banner which read "Happy Father's Day" at their mansion in the celebrity enclave suburb of Montecito, California.
The montage went on to show the renegade royal affectionately stroking baby Lilibet or Archie's hand and kicking a ball with the prince outdoors.
Archie, six, could then be seen laughing at a joke made by Harry as he read a picture storybook to his firstborn.
The father-and-son duo's shared sense of humour was apparent again in more clips of them dancing in the kitchen and ducking under a waterfall.
Meanwhile, Harry and Lilibet's love of exploring the open air together appears to be a mainstay in the Sussex household.
They could be seen clearly enjoying adventures together barefoot several times in Meghan's tribute.
The four-year-old, with her ginger locks, held her father's hand as they waded through the sand in a tropical location filled with palm trees.
She then looked delighted as she fed a carrot to a horse in a stable while the Duke held the giggling seventh in line to the British throne on his hip.
The pair's sweet relationship tugged at the heartstrings once more in a photo of them embracing on the beach.
Perhaps the sweetest clip in the tribute showed Harry teaching Archie how to ride a bike as Lilibet, not wanting to miss the fun, ran after them.
Meghan typically only shares images of the backs of Archie and Lilibet's heads to protect the privacy of the Sussexes children.
However, the former Suits actress has, in recent weeks, opted to share more of her children's lives with her 3.8 million Instagram followers.
To celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday in June, Meghan shared a previously unseen snap of herself cradling her daughter as they sat inside a boat.
Then, in a rare TV appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in March, Meghan confirmed her children speak with American accents but mimic Harry's pronunciation by saying the word "zebra" with a British accent.
"They have very American accents, but they say words just like (Harry)," Meghan said.
"I think it's adorable."
Princess Catherine took to Instagram to share new family snaps in honour of Prince William hours before Meghan Markle shared her Father's Day tribute.
in the first photo, the Prince of Wales could be seen with his arms around a beaming Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
A second black and white photo, taken after the initial one, showed the young royals appearing to pin their dad on the grass playfully.
"Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L," Catherine wrote in the caption.
