The Sussexes Enjoy Family Pumpkin Picking Amid Fall Festivities

Montecito, California — The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, enjoyed a family outing to a pumpkin patch with their children, Archie and Lilibet, on Sunday, October 26.

With Halloween approaching, the family embraced the fall season during their visit to the local pumpkin patch. Meghan shared a lively video on Instagram featuring various clips from their day. The video opens with rows of vibrant pumpkins and a scarecrow before showing Archie, 6, navigating a corn maze.

In the heartwarming montage, Meghan pulls a wagon filled with pumpkins alongside Harry and their 4-year-old daughter, Lilibet, while Lilibet rides comfortably in the cart. The couple is seen holding hands and laughing as they watch Archie explore the pumpkin rows.

Following their pumpkin adventure, the family continued the festivities at home, where Harry carved pumpkins with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland. Meghan even shared time-lapse footage of Harry’s carving session on her Instagram Stories.

“Happy Sunday 🎃🧡,” Meghan captioned the post, celebrating their family day.

Recently, during a livestream event on October 23, Meghan discussed the importance of family traditions, revealing that she encourages her children to share a “rose and thorn” about their day during dinner. This practice allows Archie and Lilibet to express their highlights and not-so-great moments, fostering open communication.

“Especially with young children, it’s a great opener for when you get to that stage where your kids just give you a yes or no answer,” Meghan said. She highlighted Lilibet’s joyful personality, sharing how her daughter often responds with positivity: “My day was just a blast,” Lilibet said, according to Meghan.

The family’s recent outing is one of the many glimpses Meghan has shared of their life in Montecito, allowing fans to witness their joyful moments together.
