- Meghan Markle shared an Instagram tribute to Prince Harry on Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are parents to Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5
- It was recently reported that Meghan and the children would join Prince Harry in the U.K. next month, marking the entire family’s first trip back together since 2022
Meghan Markle is celebrating Prince Harry on Father’s Day.
On Sunday, June 21, the Duchess of Sussex posted a new tribute dedicated to her husband of eight years.
Sharing a photograph of Harry, 41, smiling wide as he hugged the couple’s two children — son Prince Archie, 7, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 5 — Meghan, 44, wrote in her caption, “They’re so lucky to have you 🥹. We all are.”
“Happy Father’s Day to our one and only,” she added.
The couple is raising children in Montecito, California, after stepping back from their royal roles in the U.K. in 2020, and Meghan previously opened up to PEOPLE about the balance they’ve found.
“Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is,” the Duchess of Sussex said in 2025.
Prince Harry and Meghan juggle parenthood with a mix of charitable and commercial endeavors. The Duke of Sussex has cited Archie and Lilibet as an inspiration for making the online world a safer place, which has been a targeted focus of his philanthropic work with Meghan.
The family might have a major trip coming up soon, as the BBC reported on June 17 that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to bring Archie and Lili to the U.K. in July.
The trip would be the first U.K. visit for Meghan and the children in four years, timed to coincide with the one-year countdown to the next edition of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham in July 2027.
The Duke of Sussex has said that he doesn’t feel safe bringing his family back to the U.K. without the state-funded police protection they lost when he and Meghan stepped back from their royal roles, and it remains unclear if they would meet up with his father, King Charles, amid a familial rift that exploded into public view when they stepped back.
Harry, who has lovingly been nicknamed “Papa Sussex” by his wife, last reunited with his dad at the King’s London home in September 2025, which marked their first in-person meeting in 19 months.
That spring, the Duke of Sussex said he would “love” to fix the fractures with his family.
