Ever since Meghan Markle returned to Instagram, she has filled her feed with rare glimpses into her new life in California. These have ranged from sad (her tribute to Guy) to heartwarming (her rare selfie video). Still, my favorite posts are the ones with rare cameos of her kids.

Today, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted a video on her Instagram Story, featuring herself making a Valentine’s Day treat. The footage included a rare glimpse of her two kids—Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3—who are growing up so fast. 

The video began with a close-up shot of Markle cutting strawberries into a heart-shape.

Right on cue, the camera cuts to a different angle, where Lilibet can be seen in the background spreading cream cheese on a bagel.

The top of her head made another cameo in a different shot.

However, her brother, Archie, stole the show at the very end. Markle delivered the Valentine-themed treat on a plate to Archie, who can be seen facing away from the camera.

Markle kicked off 2025 by making her official comeback on social media. Her first post was a serene video that perfectly captured fresh-start energy. Reportedly shot by Prince Harry near their family home in Montecito, California, the clip showed Markle running barefoot along the beach with her back to the camera. She stopped to etch “2025” into the sand before letting out a playful laugh and jogging away. 

What a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day.
