The Sussexes are getting into the fall spirit!
With Halloween just around the corner, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry went on a pumpkin-picking adventure with kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, documented the autumn outing with a compilation of clips.
Meghan shared footage of the family’s pumpkin patch visit on Instagram on Sunday, Oct. 26. The video kicks off with clips showcasing rows of the bright orange squashes — and the scarecrow protecting them — before cutting to a shot of Archie, 6, running in what appears to be a corn maze.
Other clips in the As ever founder’s video, which she set to “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas & the Papas, show the family spending time together, including a shot of Meghan pulling a wagon of pumpkins alongside Harry, 41, and daughter Lilibet, 4. In one clip, Lilibet rode in the cart with the fall squashes.
Footage also showed the With Love, Meghan host placing her hand on Archie’s shoulder and holding hands with Harry as the couple watched their son run through rows of pumpkins.
Plus, the festivities didn’t stop after the family picked out their Halloween accessories, the video shows.
Later, Harry got crafty and carved some of the pumpkins they seemingly acquired during the family outing. Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, also appeared to get in on the carving action, making a short cameo toward the end of the video.
The Duke of Sussex opted for a classic jack-o’-lantern pattern — and Meghan even shared a time lapse of him carving it on Instagram Stories.

The family’s latest outing comes shortly after Meghan gave a glimpse into their life at home in Montecito, Calif. — and specifically, one of their dinner table traditions.
During a Godmothers Bookstore livestream on Wednesday, Oct. 23, Meghan revealed that she asks both of her children to share a “rose and thorn” — symbolizing the best part of their day and the things that “maybe didn’t feel so good” — while dining together in the evenings.

“Especially with young children, it’s a great opener for, you know, when you get to that stage where your kids just give you a yes or no answer,” Meghan said during the livestream. But, she then added, it’s all roses for her youngest lately.
“Our daughter — she’s 4, and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Meghan said. “And now she’s in this moment where I say, ‘What’s your rose and your thorn?’ And she goes, ‘My day was just a blast.’ ”
