Duchess Meghan posted videos of Archie & Lili’s 2026 Easter egg hunt

The Duchess of Sussex published this amazing Instagram carousel of her family’s Easter celebrations on Sunday. Per usual, Meghan and Harry had an Easter egg hunt at their Montecito home. They do this every year – in their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, they are seen organizing the Easter egg hunt for Archie. Meghan was pregnant with Lili at the time! Now, five years later, Lili and Archie look for Easter eggs together. So sweet. Doria was there too, in 2021 and this year – and I suspect Doria is there every Easter, and for every major holiday.

Per usual, whenever Meghan gives people a glimpse of family life, the usual suspects immediately begin screaming, crying and throwing up. The Daily Mail kept changing their headline and story to reflect more and more outrage that Meghan would DARE to post lovely images of her family’s Easter celebration the very same day that King Charles deigned to look upon Prince William’s children. Keep in mind, yesterday was the first time Charles even saw his Wales grandkids on Easter Sunday in three years. He’s never seen his Sussex grandkids on any major Christian holiday.

Additionally, Tom Sykes at the Royalist woke up bright and early to have a huge meltdown over Meghan’s “hypocrisy” by posting videos of her children to “build her brand.” When you’re full of bile and hate, that’s all you see, even when it’s just a mom who is voluntarily giving fans a glimpse of her family holiday. Imagine being that f–king furious over kids looking for Easter eggs.

    What a great time they had. Looks like a lot more fun that the Windsor easter.

    • Snaggletooth says:

      All that gorgeous sunshine. Lmao that estate is just a gut punch to the haters. There’s nothing they can do about the fact that the Sussexes own a slice of heaven. And, as a former coastal Californian myself, I can practically smell these videos. And yes, it’s even more paradisiacal than even these images could ever convey.

      • NotSoSocialB says:

        The little brook running through is makes it just so idyllic.

      • Sid says:

        Isn’t that brook lovely? It is great to see that they have been able to create such a peaceful sanctuary for themselves and their children.

      • Meredith says:

        The two children aren’t dressed for the same season, which seems funny until you remember it’s April and you can have 3 seasons in 12 hours almost anywhere in April.

  2. Inge says:

    Love the videos! Lili with her teddies, Archie concentrating painting his egg, them racing for the eggs… Those kids look so happy & free and they would have never gotten that in the UK*

    Also it looks like Lili might be warm easily like her dad(bare shoulders & feet) whilst Archie might be more Californian like his mom with shoes, jacket&longsleeved shirt

    *)you just know that Lili would always be compared to Charlotte whilst Archie would be used as a scapesgoat if Louis acted up

  3. Sophie says:

    Wait. Is Lili almost as tall as Archie??

    • Hypocrisy says:

      He is running at an angle with bent knees, so it makes him look shorter in the one photo… they are two years apart so to me their height difference looks pretty normal but I think they both will be on the taller side.

      • QuiteContrary says:

        Plus Lili wearing bunny ears LOL.

      • Mel says:

        My sons are 3yrs apart. At different points while they were growing up the younger one would almost catch up in height to his brother and then the older one would shoot up. That all ended when my youngest was 16 and sprouted to 6ft and his brother is stuck at 5’9. They’re 20 and 23 now and the older is forever salty about his brother being taller.

    • MsIam says:

      Kids grow at different rates when they are young. Archie and Lili look close in height now but in six months it could be different.

      • jais says:

        For sure. Different growth spurts and each one might inherit a different type height from each parent. My dad is tall and my sister is tall but my mom is short and I’m short. But I was the tallest one in my class all through elementary school but then just stopped growing and became pretty average.

  4. Elizabeth says:

    I think that Meghan and Harry have done a remarkable job at giving us a glimpse of the kids, but never allowing us to actually see what they really look like. Archie and Lili could walk past me down the street, and I wouldn’t know it.

    • Lamb Chop says:

      Agree! I’d be fine with not seeing them for their privacy and protection, but I love seeing these glimpses.

      Such gorgeous vids and pics. Happy, loved and free.

  5. Ginger says:

    Seeing how Archie and Lilli were running towards the eggs i can see both kids being pretty athletic. Cute videos!

  6. Of course the deranged are throwing up and having fits because this is what a real happy family looks like and they can’t handle a very happy family!! Looks like they had a great time! The best revenge is living your best life and having fun and ignoring all the noise!!

    • Interested Gawker says:

      It’s so disturbing how those types of haters can’t stand seeing people happy or having fun. If only they had fun and affection in their own lives… Being so fixated on insults and negativity is such a sad utilization of one’s life.

      • Moniquep says:

        It’s not people, its just the Sussexes that are not allowed to live and enjoy life. The fact that they are happy and carefree is what drives the derangers bat shit crazy

        Harry and Meghan just Keep on living your best lives, and ignore the haters. Let them stew in their vile juices.

        We your supporters love you and are lifting you up in our prayers.

    • Giddy says:

      Somehow over the weekend I accidentally landed on a video by Megyn Kelly, basically losing her mind over Duchess Meghan. The vitriol flowing from that blond witch was absolutely poisonous. I honestly think it was the nastiest, most hateful commentary I’ve ever seen. All I could think was what a very unhappy, deeply disturbed and jealous woman she must be. She is truly horrible.

      • Gabby says:

        No one hates like Megyn Kelly hates.

        I think she is filled with a putrid corrosive pus instead of regular organs, and that when she opens her mouth off-camera, something like those creatures from Tremors emerge.

      • Mel says:

        Megyn Kelly is pathetic. She was given so many hand outs and still failed at everything she was handed. Jane Fonda treating her like the fool she is on her talk show lives rent free in my head.

    • MsIam says:

      The way they pore over the details about people they claim to hate is crazy to me. Very disturbing.

  7. Dee(2) says:

    These are cute, and brought back a lot of memories as a kid of running across the grass to be the first towards the eggs. We were a little more aggressive in my family though lol. Archie and Lili are very sweet towards each other.

    And of course the usual suspects are upset. They’re upset about the interest and lack of control. They don’t give a damn about Meghan sharing this, as long as the sharing was filtered through them. They look at the numbers for her posts and the numbers on their articles and videos and compare.

    She’s literally not allowed to have control over her children’s image in their minds. And they have had a full weekend of new content that they had to play catch up on, that most people had already seen by the time their articles were ready.

  8. Al says:

    The Sussex’s kids are so extra adorable. I’m so glad their parents are giving them a normal life (at much as possible). Lilli’s feet are long – looks like she’ll be wearing Meghan’s shoes in a few years, lol. Archie was laser focused on painting his egg – I love the passion they put into everything.

  9. Shiela Kerr says:

    Enjoy seeing snippets of the Sussexes family life. It is usually the simple things that bring children the most joy.

  10. Amy Bee says:

    Is the outrage from Tom Sykes and others because they don’t have access to the children and can’t get to see them on-demand or is the anger because showing their children undermines the press narrative that Harry and Meghan wanted privacy and refused to show their children to the British press? Anyway I think Tom Sykes is more obsessed and unhinged about Meghan than Richard Eden. It was nice of Meghan to give snippets of their Easter. It looked like they had a very nice day.

    • MsIam says:

      The first couple of years of the kids lives we saw plenty of pictures. The press can blame themselves that they have been shut out. I’m not sharing my family with folks who twist everything and write lies about me. They can fcku all the way off to Pluto.

    • Nic919 says:

      Talking about building a brand when that is the only thing the Windsor family does. Mr quiet faith had to attend Easter service for the first time in many years because he has skipped it many times.

      • Mel says:

        You know the only reason Willard is showing up is because Chuckles will kick soon and he doesn’t want anyone to question ANYTHING about him( HA!!! Good luck with that!) , how can you be head of the church when you not only don’t go to church, you don’t even believe in God.

  11. Jan says:

    No one is putting Lili in a corner guessing, she is learning of ski also.
    It is normal for younger siblings to try and keep up with their older siblings.

  12. Alex Can says:

    The royalists are angry with the Sussex videos because the contrast with the Wales’s is so marked. Archie and Lili are adorable while enjoying their childhoods with joyful abandonment. The Wales kids look constrained and miserable in their outdated suits and fussy clothes.

    • JT says:

      Exactly. Seeing both family’s Easter celebrations, I know where I’d like to spend my Sunday. No matter how much the press says that the Sussexes are missing out, you can’t see them and then the Wales’ and think I’d much rather be trotted on some Easter walk. H&M’s family always looks happy and relaxed. I think the press also outraged because there is far more engagement with Meghan’s post on instagram than the pap walk with the royals.

      • Shelley Hanson says:

        A trip to church doesn’t mean they also didn’t celebrate easter in a more fun way. Why are you assuming they did nothing else the rest of the day? Mass is only an hr.

      • Lawrenceville says:

        Except the “fun celebrations” of the Waleses were not shown so we only have the church pap walk to compare (to what the Sussexes shared) because that’s what the Waleses chose to be shared so, you can’t blame us for “assuming” now, can you?

      • TheWigletOfWails says:

        @shelley Hanson, that’s the point. Meghan freely shares what she wants of her family because she’s not privacy obsessed and funded by the taxpayer. WanK can’t because they’ll have to justify why they spend so much time on vacation while doing little to no work. That’s why most of the pictures and videos you see of the children are at church walks and certain engagements (eg Wimbledon, soccer matches)

      • Nerd says:

        Shelley Hanson I don’t believe that anyone is assuming that mass and the pap walk is all that the other families do on Easter or other holidays, it’s just that it’s what is constantly being used to suggest that the Sussex children are missing by not living or visiting the UK. It is the very image of the royal children walking and greeting people during Christmas or Easter and them standing on the balcony that is always mentioned whenever the left behind royal children are seen outside. That is why they hate that Meghan shares little glimpses of the Sussex children enjoying life as children should, because it destroys the narrative that the Sussex children are somehow missing out on not being in the UK surrounded by people who obviously don’t love them enough to love and protect them from racist in the family, social media and in print media. The things said and done to the Sussex children by that family and those they surround themselves with is the real reason they should not want to be around them, but them having normal lives that they would never be aloud to have if they lived in the UK is another reason.

    • Alex Can says:

      @Shelley Hanson, of course a religious service is only an hour long. But it’s the OPTICS of two very different sets of lives the children are living. And you know that optics are everything to the Royal family.

      • Nic919 says:

        The video also shows that Harry made the right decision moving away because those kids would be stuck walking in order of rank and wearing stifling outfits.

      • Shelley Hanson says:

        I was responding to the assumption that the Wales’s kids aren’t doing anything fun just because they were only seen at church. I’m not going to assume that kids who have lives that are mostly private apart from the odd time they are in public (like at church) never get to do normal fun kid things. That’s a pretty baseless assumption.

  13. Julia says:

    These videos destroy the narrative that the family is unhappy, broke and dying to come back to the UK. That’s why people like Skye’s are mad. The video is full of joy and reminds a lot of people of their own childhoods. Also their garden is idyllic.

  14. jais says:

    Super cute. Archie was very meticulous with his egg painting. Their whole montecito space just looks like paradise. Truly. I wana live there.

  15. Lala11_7 says:

    Unfortunately YouTube’s algorithms ALWAYS send me BS regarding H&M because I am Sussex Squad…generally I ignore that BS & TRY to block it…but SOMETIMES…ONLY SOMETIMES…some of them get me to click on them…and…MY G-D 😱 in an HUMANE society…those creators would face legal consequences…that kind of pure evil hate being allowed to foster…hate based on BLATANT LIES…is a PERFECT mirror to how 🤬 the 🌎 is…because between the ⛷️ video & this one…Haters are TRULY LOSING IT!

    • Sid says:

      Lala I think youtube pushes those videos on purpose. I made a point of never watching any content about the Sussexes there because I knew there were so many crazies making hateful videos. Somehow those videos would still manage to pop up occasionally as recommendations.

    • Moniquep says:

      You just need to click the 3little dots which gives you the option to select do not send or not interested. If you open the video they will keep sending similar ones.

  16. aquarius64 says:

    The Wales kids were dragged out for the Easter church pap walk to help deflect from the Epstein scandal IMO. The Sussex kids are enjoying the secular American side of the holiday with an Easter egg hunt (love Lili’s bunny ears). Does the UK have Easter egg hunts?

    • Shelley Hanson says:

      No, noone in the UK does easter eggs hunts, they are banned. Even in your own yard./s

      • Nerd says:

        It is a fair question because there are some things that traditionally happen in the states that don’t happen in the UK. I can remember the ridiculous outrage about Meghan attending a baby shower that her friends funded when she was pregnant with Archie and one of the main things mentioned was how it wasn’t something commonly done in the UK. The same thing when Harry and Meghan shared private vows with each other days before their wedding.

      • Nic919 says:

        Letting Kate and her image of what the family does is why these questions are asked. They present a joyless existence and dress from a time when their grandparents were children.

        Regular British kids who attend church service dress more modern but this family at least in Kate’s mind, can’t consider doing that.

      • LRB says:

        Wrong – we do have easter egg hunts. I always did them for my kids as did most of my friends.

  17. convict says:

    Lovely children. Archie looks very diligent and quiet, Lili more outgoing.

    I must say that their colouring seems to be all Harry. I’m mixed race, as is my sibling, so I find it a bit unusual because our colouring favours the darker eyes/hair side. Neither one of us got the Anglo/English blue eyes. Red hair and blue eyes are recessive.

    • Lamb Chop says:

      My niece is mixed race with one black haired, dark brown eyed parent and she got her mother’s blue eyes, plus a gorgeous caramel complexion and dark hair. Genes are weird. My parents had black hair and I was bright red. Seemed to have jumped several generations.

      • convict says:

        True; we have a few strange ones as well, lol. How startling for your parents for you to have red hair, which is gorgeous. Your niece must be stunning!

        Our children are a mixed bag. One blonde/blue-eyed and two brown haired and brown eyes. Then there have been a couple with blue eyes, though both parents are brown eyed. So, yes, it happens.

        It’s just a little odd that both children are so fair, especially Lili. Though, we haven’t really seen them properly. I’m not starting anything, it’s just an observation.

      • Nerd says:

        Convict as you said, red hair and blue eyes are recessive and it’s definitely recessive for both Harry and Meghan when we look at some of their relatives. Their fair skin isn’t really that odd when we look at Meghan’s own childhood photos and see how fair her own skin tone was, especially as a young child. The Sussex children are born from two parents who carry the recessive red hair, blue eyes and fair skinned gene, so their children being born that way or having some mixture of that isn’t strange at all. They have a white red haired blue eyed father and a fair skinned (white and black) biracial mother. As someone else said, it should have been expected by those in the family who were racist enough to have concerns about their potential skin tone.

    • Lady D says:

      My younger brother and I have blonde hair. We are the only ones in over 80 years to be blonde. We share a father, so it must have come from his side.

      • TheWigletOfWails says:

        @convict it’s not really odd if you think about it. Meghan is a white presenting biracial person and harry is white (which is so ridiculous that the BaRF we’re worried about their skin color). Tom Snr was also a red head when he was younger so while it’s a recessive gene, harry is a red head too. Do the crossings and there you go. Genetics are crazy like that.

    • Elly says:

      My husband worked in genetics and I can tell you that the human genome is one of the most complex things on earth.

    • Sid says:

      Their father is white and their mother is half-white. I don’t think their coloring is that surprising. And then dad is a redhead and maternal grandfather is a redhead.

  18. QuiteContrary says:

    I love that Lili is in bare feet. She and Archie are literally running free.

    Meanwhile, the Wales kids are dressed up like little Lords and Lady Fauntleroy.

  19. Over it says:

    Their happiness brings me happiness . I love the peace and tranquility that this family has .
    Tom sucks is in need of intense therapy. He has seriously lost the plot. Last time I checked these were not his children so I don’t know why he thinks he has a say in anything concerning them . Dumb B that he is

  20. B says:

    The video was so adorable! Harry skiing with Archie was a bit bittersweet because it showed us that Harry was giving his children the safe private childhood he never had but always wanted. It was cathartic while the Easter Egg video is just sweet, serene and healing. It shows the Sussexes living their happily ever after and proves why fighting for their freedom was worth it.

  21. Elly says:

    These photos and video are so amazingly beautiful. Their garden is a paradise. Lily’s gorgeous dress and hair make her look like a doll. Archie’s egg decorating is Very impressive! The Sussexes are living a blissful life and it makes the trolls angry. Poor little trolls they are so small minded and pitiful.

  22. Gabby says:

    I’m grateful that Megan posted these – a real mood lifter

    I love Archie’s egg decorating contraption, and how those chickens weren’t wasting any time on pleasantries once the lettuce got dropped. 🐓

    • Lurker says:

      In the clip where the children take their impressive haul over the cute little bridge, did you see Pula the lab also carrying something? I wonder if she was allowed to search for her own Easter egg. Would be right on brand with this lovely family.

      The videos are so wholesome. Cute kids enjoying life in paradise. I blocked derangers on Instagram and Threads, I don’t care for their idiotic comments. What a sad bunch who cannot enjoy seeing children having fun.

    • booboocita says:

      The painting contraption is called “EggMazing,” and it’s available on Amazon! My cousin’s children use one, and they’re so much fun!

      • Blithe says:

        Thank you for posting this info. I was wondering what it was — and where I might be able to get them.

  23. VilleRose says:

    Meghan always seems to go out for holidays – Valentine’s Day, Easter, July 4th, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving etc. Even more so now that she has kids. So it makes sense for her to want to share some of the cutesy stuff she does for her kids. I doubt George, Charlotte, and Louis are having as much fun on Easter as the Sussex kids are (they are forced to parade in front of cameras to go to church).

    • irisrose says:

      I’m sure they had plenty of fun on the luxury yacht holiday on the Epstein-connected yacht with security paid by the Greek taxpayers.

      Or on their latest taxpayer-funded jaunt to Mustique.

      Or their latest taxpayer-funded skiing holiday.

    • tamsin says:

      It seems the Wales kids get lots of luxury holidays- just different life styles.

  24. Sean says:

    Beautiful images. I hope the kids have others to play with and hunt for eggs.
    Sad in a way but, you know, they could call themselves ‘Us four’ as was done when Lilibet’s namesake was a child.
    There’s something broken in Sykes and his Royalist lot. Their hate is irrational and feeds on itself. I’ve suggested, based on story count, he call his site ‘The Harry & Meghanist’ or ‘The Nonworking Royalist’.

    • Elly says:

      There are kids’ Easter egg hunts in communities all across the US so I’m sure their community has them too. They have a lot more freedom where they are than they would in the UK. Lots of celebrities live in that area and we’ve seen photos of different ones take their kids to community events. We saw photos of Harry and Meghan at a 4th of July parade. Yes, there’s paparazzi but it’s not as intense. I’m sure all the celebrities have security for their kids too so it’s not just them. I remember Meghan saying that she was afraid to go anywhere when they were in the UK.
