Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s 2 Kids: All About Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet (Who Recently Made Their Debuts on Their Mom’s Instagram)

A year after their royal wedding in 2018, Meghan gave birth to Archie in London. The couple stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to Santa Barbara, Calif., where Lili was born the following year.

Though Archie and Lili didn’t receive the titles of prince and princess at the time of their births — because the late Queen Elizabeth was their great-grandmother and only grandchildren are immediately given titles — they started using the titles after their grandfather King Charles became monarch in 2022. Stemming from Harry and Meghan’s titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which were bestowed by Queen Elizabeth upon their wedding, the children are officially Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. The family has since adopted Sussex as their surname.

The couple have mostly kept their children out of the public eye for privacy reasons, typically only sharing photos and videos that hide their faces (including their 2024 Christmas card and Lili’s 2025 debut on Meghan’s lifestyle website As Ever). In 2024, Meghan and Harry launched a program to support parents whose kids have been affected by online harm through their charity, Archewell Foundation.
