Meghan Markle recently delighted her Instagram followers with endearing videos of her children enjoying a sunny day by the pool and experiencing the thrill of feeding rhinos at the zoo.

In one charming video, four-year-old Lilibet can be seen making waves in the pool, accompanied by what seems to be her grandmother, Doria Ragland.

Another heartwarming clip captures six-year-old Archie’s red hair as he gently feeds a critically endangered black rhino, a moment that showcases his tender nature.

Fans of the Duchess of Sussex were also treated to a brief glimpse of Meghan and Harry in a spontaneous barefoot dance in a lush field, radiating joy and connection.

In the video, Prince Harry is seen in a laid-back outfit of track pants and a t-shirt, while Meghan embraces him in a white top paired with cream mini-shorts.

The collection of clips also highlights Meghan’s quality time with her children, featuring large pastel chalks and vibrant scribbles on paper.

Accompanied by the music ‘Carefree Days’, a shopping list in one video was surrounded by groceries and covered in small drawings – with the final page reading ‘Yay! You did it!’ in capital letters.

A final Instagram story saw Meghan don a pair of sunglasses as she fed huge green leaves of lettuce to a giraffe at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert, California.

The sweet clips, uploaded to Instagram, show four-year-old Lilibet causing a splash in the water – accompanied by what appears to be Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland

It follows the revelation earlier this month that Harry and Meghan are already planning a public role for their two children – to the shock of the Prince’s old friends and family members.

Before Christmas there was evidence of the pair’s plans when they announced changes to their charitable foundation. 

A statement read: ‘After five beautiful years, the Archewell Foundation is becoming Archewell Philanthropies.

‘This charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand upon their global philanthropic endeavours as a family.’

An old friend of Harry’s told the Daily Mail: ‘I am genuinely confused.

‘Harry and Meghan were always so insistent that their children would be able to make their own way in life without the pressure of expectations or titles. 

‘I can’t believe Harry is behind this. It must be Meghan’s influence.’ 

It was not just the Archewell statement that led fans to believe the Sussexes wanted to give their children a higher public profile.

The couple’s children have often featured on their social media feeds

On the same day that the statement was issued, Meghan posted a family photograph on social media alongside a Christmas message -featuring the clearest image yet of their children. 

Archie was seen hugging his father while Meghan was bending down and holding hands with Lilibet as they stood in a sun-dappled forest on a small, wooden bridge.

Separately, they also released a Christmas card and end-of-year video highlighting their charitable endeavours, which featured the children helping their parents bake cookies ahead of Thanksgiving with a local charity.

Harry and Meghan have campaigned on the dangers of social media and recently welcomed its ban for children in Australia. 

However, they have increasingly featured their own offspring in online posts since Meghan started trying to make a fortune with As Ever, her lifestyle mail-order company.

In December, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared an image of herself and Harry with their children alongside the caption: ‘Happy Holidays! From our family to yours’.

Harry, 41, was shown with his hands cupped protectively around Archie’s head. 

The father and son stared at one another lovingly, both with smiles on their faces.

Next to them on a bridge was Meghan and Lilibet. The Duchess was bent down to rest her forehead against her daughter’s while holding both her hands.

The photo was one of a number of carefully choreographed new glimpses of the young prince and princess.

In November it was claimed that Prince Harry was ‘not loving’ his wife posting pictures of him and their children on social media.

A source had said Harry was not happy with Meghan’s recent ‘social media displays’. 

They told the publication Page Six: ‘He’s very aware of her parading him around. He doesn’t love the social media displays.’

Ahead of Halloween last year Meghan shared a new video of her children running through a field as they watched on in awe at their father carving a pumpkin. 

The Duchess of Sussex uploaded the footage – a montage of short clips – to Instagram accompanied with the song ‘California Dreaming’.

At one point the camera fixated on the couple holding hands as they observed their son who could be seen trawling through the farm’s produce. 

The back of Princess Lilibet’s flowing auburn hair was also visible as she inspected the many fruits on offer.

In the footage Meghan donned a pair of black knee-high boots and leggings with a black jacket while Harry opted for a casual look in jeans, a hoodie and a baseball cap.

Other moments saw Meghan pat her son’s head and lead her daughter through the farm on a trailer. 

She wrote ‘Happy Sunday’, accompanied with a pumpkin and heart emoji.
