Just over a week after sharing video footage of a fun-filled family trip to an amusement park, the Duchess of Sussex paid a heartfelt Instagram tribute to her husband for Father’s Day.
In her recent Instagram post, Meghan Markle gave her followers endearing glimpses of her and Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The video she posted, in commemoration of Father’s Day, celebrated the beautiful bonds Archie and Lilibet share with their doting dad, which had some netizens swooning and others scrutinizing the kids’ appearances.
Set to the gentle strum of Jason Mraz’s acoustic rendition of “Have It All,” Meghan’s video unfolds like a love letter — not just to Harry, but to the quiet, tender moments that define fatherhood.
It opens with a serene image: Harry, crouched beneath a “Happy Father’s Day” banner, enveloping both Archie and Lilibet on his lap as sunlight filters through lush greenery.
From there, the montage blossoms — Harry gently stroking one of his newborns’ tiny hands, the Duke of Sussex enjoying a playful ball game with a little Archie, and Harry holding one of his infants with a look that spoke volumes.
One moment melts into the next — Harry dancing with Archie in his arms; enjoying some father-daughter time with Lilibet, and the loving dad guiding his son on a bike path with Lilibet trailing joyfully behind. Another instance shows Harry holding Archie as the two feed a carrot to a horse together.
With each frame, viewers are offered not royal pageantry, but slices of everyday magic: bubble wands, beach time fun and sandy toes, story time snuggles, and Archie and Lilibet bombarding their beloved dad with snuggles and kisses on a garden swing.
As the video ends with Harry holding Lilibet beneath the same festive banner it began with, Meghan’s caption delivers the final emotional note — simple, heartfelt, and brimming with admiration: “The best. Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy 💕.”
Unsurprisingly, the touching Father’s Day tribute sparked a flurry of reactions across social media, with many commenters moved by the heartwarming footage and others diving into speculation and scrutiny. Admirers of the Sussex family were quick to point out the striking resemblance between Harry and his children.
One fan gushed, “Spitting image of their father. Beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️,” while another echoed a similar sentiment, “Archie looks just like Harry.”
third reiterated the observations, “They look just like Harry!” On the other hand, a portion of viewers voiced confusion over the perceived inconsistency in Lilibet’s appearance across the footage.
One spectator remarked, “Every image/clip of lilibet is a different girl.. hair, height, weight/and its not just a gradual growth difference.. it looks like a completely different child every time… am I the only one noticing this [sic]?”
Another commenter expressed, “Archie stays the same but the Girl changes in each photo. Very confusing [sic].” A third observer penned, “Ha! The ever changing [sic] kids. Why is it that every time they release a photo, it always looks like different kids?”
Despite the mixed commentary, some people opted to focus on the emotional tone of the tribute, highlighting the joy captured in each scene.
Meghan’s widely-discussed Father’s Day post comes after the Duchess of Sussex shared family content of her, Harry, and their kids’ time at Disneyland, which prompted an online buzz.
“Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” wrote the mother of two in the post’s caption. For the outing, Harry wore a navy long-sleeve shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a pair of Mickey Mouse ears. Meghan paired her black top with white pants, black flats, and matching Mickey ears.
Archie looked casual in a white shirt and dark pants, and he, too, wore Mickey ears. Little Lilibet donned a yellow-and-white dress and carried two plush toys. She completed her look with mouse ears like the rest of her family.
For the second day of their family outing, the Sussexes opted for another round of relaxed and cheerful looks. Harry sported a black T-shirt, dark jeans, and a light-colored baseball cap.
Meghan looked casual yet stylish in a white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, paired with blue jeans and a black cap topped with Minnie Mouse ears and a red bow.
Archie was dressed in a light gray long-sleeved top and matching pants. Meanwhile, Lilibet wore a white sundress with colorful animal prints and appeared barefoot, giving off a carefree and playful vibe.

Some netizens didn’t hold back their opinions after the family video and photos surfaced, and many shared critical remarks about Lilibet’s appearance during the outing.
One person queried, “Why is that little girl wearing a see-through nightgown in public??🙁” Another asked, “Why is Harry’s daughter’s hair tangled, messy? I understand they want to keep their privacy with their kids — But — why show this DisneyLand family photo with kid’s faces blocked out [sic]?”
A different person remarked, “Can’t they afford shoes for Lili? Very unhygienic to go around Disney barefoot.” Someone else noted, “Lili looks like she is in a nightgown, no shoes and bed head.” Someone else observed, “The girl looks like she has on a nightdress? The boy’s fully covered.”
Echoing previous assertions, one person wondered, “Why is that child barefoot at a public theme park?” However, among the criticism, one admirer offered a softer take, writing, “The little Princess has such beautiful hair.”
The spotlight on the Duchess did not end at Disneyland, as just a few days earlier, another video she shared online had already stirred conversation.
On June 4, 2025, Meghan posted a throwback clip on Instagram to mark her daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday. The footage, though meant to be lighthearted, sparked mixed reactions online.
In the video, Meghan — heavily pregnant at the time — is seen dancing beside a hospital bed. Harry, dressed casually in a hoodie, joins in as the two move along to “The Baby Momma Dance” by Starrkeisha.
She captioned the post, “Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work — there was only one thing left to do!”
This new era of Meghan trolling on her haters is my FAVORITE! She finally dropped the hospital video.
I love you, Meg. Ride or die. ❤️❤️❤️

Viewers had mixed reactions, with several raising doubts about the Duchess of Sussex’s appearance in the footage. One observer questioned whether she had a pillow beneath her dress. Another claimed the baby bump did not appear to be real.
A different spectator reiterated that the bump looked like a pillow, but clarified they held no ill feelings toward Meghan. Still, they insisted it seemed fake. They added that, based on their own experience with childbirth, a woman in that condition could not move in such a way.
Another person expressed uncertainty about the shape of her stomach, asking if anyone else thought it looked off. One individual, identifying as a midwife, stated that in their experience, baby bumps did not move in that manner. Someone else described the bump as appearing to be stuffed with clothing.
Despite the wave of criticism, a few responses were positive. One fan said the clip was great. Another commented that it was cute and not cringeworthy at all. While the video aimed to highlight a joyful personal moment, it instead sparked ongoing public speculation.
