Meghan Markle shares Disneyland photos of Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has offered a rare glimpse into her family life, delighting fans by sharing a series of personal photos from a trip to Disneyland California.

A joyful family day at Disneyland

The Duchess of Sussex shared the carousel of six images with her followers, captioning the Instagram post with a simple red heart emoji. These pictures document a joy-filled day at the California theme park for the Sussex family, including her husband, Prince Harry, their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland. 

The timing of the post, which features a touching photo of Meghan Markle embracing her mother, suggests the family may have been celebrating Mother's Day. In the sweet snap, Meghan is seen kissing a smiling Doria on the cheek as they stand on a balcony overlooking the park, with Doria holding a large bunch of colourful Mickey Mouse balloons.

Magical moments: From princesses to Star Wars

Other images from the Disneyland trip capture the family enjoying the park's famous attractions. One photo shows the family of four from behind as they walk down Buena Vista Street, with Meghan Markle holding hands with both Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The children were clearly enchanted by the magic of Disney, with photos showing Lilibet meeting Princess Aurora and sharing a warm hug with Cinderella. The Sussex family was also pictured on the Storybook Land Canal Boats ride. They even had an encounter with the dark side, meeting Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper in the popular Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge section of the park.
