Earlier this year, after a hiatus of roughly five years, Meghan rejoined social media platform Instagram where she keeps posting pictures of her life with Harry and their kids in the US-- giving their fans and people a glimpse of their family.
More recently, Meghan Markle posted a video of her vacation with Prince Harry and their children- Archie and Lilibet-- enjoying some family time at Disneyland. What started as a lighthearted family vacation quietly turned into a touching tribute to Prince Harry's late mother, Princess Diana— one that warmed the hearts of fans around the world.
In a video shared on Meghan's social media profile, Harry and Meghan were seen laughing, playing, and riding attractions with their little ones. From cotton candy smiles to wide-eyed wonder on rides, the footage captured the magic of family and the simple joys of childhood. But for many viewers, one moment stood out—a scene that mirrored a treasured memory from Harry's past.
Back in August 1993, a newly divorced Princess Diana took her sons, Harry and William, to Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
It was a rare, carefree escape from the public eye following her separation from Prince Charles. Among the highlights of that trip was a ride on the park's iconic log flume— an adventure that left the young princes beaming and drenched, with Diana smiling beside them. Photos from that day captured more than just a fun ride— they froze in time a mother's pure love and the safe space she tried to give her boys amid royal chaos.

Fast forward to today, and Harry found himself in a similar moment—this time as the father, holding tight to his own children as they rode the very same water ride. Meghan's reel didn't announce the parallel, but longtime fans recognized the symbolism. The splash, the laughter, the wide smiles—it all echoed the joy Harry once shared with his mother. Whether intentional or not, the connection was poignant.
It's unclear whether this was Harry's first time revisiting the log flume since that day with Diana, but for many, it felt like a quiet way of bringing her spirit into the lives of his children.
A full-circle moment that spoke volumes without a single word.
According to PEOPLE magazine, back in 1993, Diana arranged for the water ride to be shut down so her boys could enjoy it privately, shielded from the crowds. While it's not known whether Harry had similar accommodations this time, the focus wasn't on exclusivity—it was on togetherness and creating memories.
Other snippets from the family's trip showed a Little Mermaid-themed cake for Princess Lilibet, snapshots of the couple braving Space Mountain, and Archie's wide-eyed excitement on various rides. Meghan captioned the video simply: 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy,' pairing the reel with Peggy Lee's cheerful classic, 'It's a Good Day.'
And indeed, it was. A day filled with laughter, love, and legacy—a reminder that while some people may no longer be physically present, their love continues to echo through the next generation.

Chunky Panday reveals he was once paid to attend a funeral: 'There was no source of income at the time'
Chunky Panday revealed he was once paid to attend a funeral, mistakenly thinking it was a regular event. The organiser told him, 'Agar aap royenge na, toh thoda zyada paisa milega' (If you cry, you will be paid more). Another actor cried and earned ₹50,000 extra. Chunky Panday recently appeared in Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull 5, sharing the screen with Akshay Kumar , Riteish Deshmukh , Abhishek Bachchan , Nana Patekar among others. He is also seen in the film 'Detective Sherdil', sharing the screen with Boman Irani , Ratna Pathak Shah, and Diljit Dosanjh. The story centers on the themes of ambition and the lust for power and wealth. Recently, in an interview, Chunky amusingly told how he once attended a funeral solely to make some extra cash. Early Career Struggles and Misunderstanding In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Chunky reflected on a memorable experience from earlier in his career. He admitted, 'That was my mistake. Yes, I attended the funeral, but not out of choice. See, in those days, there was no source of income for actors besides going to events or doing movies. There was no YouTube, Instagram, or even ads at that time, as it was a different era." He revealed that an event organiser once invited him to attend a brief event, asking him to wear white, which he assumed was simply the dress code. However, when he arrived, he realized it was actually a funeral, and the crowd was surprised to see him there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The Funeral Incident and Payment Offer The actor shared a surprising experience from the event, recalling, 'I suddenly saw a dead body in front of me and thought the organiser had passed away.' He soon learned that he was actually there for a funeral. Feeling unable to react in such a solemn moment, the organiser joked, 'Agar aap royenge na, toh thoda zyada paisa milega'. Since Chunky isn't very emotional, he chose not to cry to avoid bursting into laughter. However, another actor at the funeral cried extensively and reportedly received an additional ₹50,000 for it. About 'Detective Sherdil' 'Detective Sherdil' blends mystery with dark comedy and has been praised for its engaging plot and Diljit's fresh portrayal of a detective character. The ensemble cast also includes Sumeet Vyas , Banita Sandhu, and Kashmira Irani.
