Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie’s Red Hair Takes the Spotlight in Sweet New Photo with Mom Meghan Markle

The Duchess of Sussex and Princess Lili also twinned in matching sun hats

Meghan Markle is feeling the love with her kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

On March 24, the Duchess of Sussex posted a new photo with her son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3, whom she shares with husband Prince Harry.

“Every day is a love story,” Meghan wrote with a dove emoji below the Instagram image, which was shared as a joint post between her personal page on the platform and the account for her lifestyle brand, As ever.

The snap captured Meghan from behind, with her children by her side — showing their red hair, a trait they inherited from dad Harry! The Duchess of Sussex held Lili on her hip, and the two twinned in matching sun hats. Lilibet carried a basket, and Archie hugged his mom close on her opposite side.

Both of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children inherited his red hair, which Prince Harry has said comes from his late mother Princess Diana’s side of the family. When asked if he sees any family members in his kids while appearing on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in January 2023, Prince Harry said, “Definitely my mum. The ginger gene is a strong one!” 

“The Spencer gene is very, very strong,” Harry added, referring to his maternal side of the family. “I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes, but I was wrong! Go gingers.”

Meghan has shared a few new pictures of their children on the personal Instagram page she launched at the start of the year, giving a glimpse into her family’s private life in Montecito, California.

Speaking to PEOPLE in her most intimate interview in years, the Duchess of Sussex says that it has been a joy to build her As ever venture with her kids watching. The site’s original landing page featured a picture of Meghan with Lilibet, which she says was especially meaningful.

“Being able to have my own little girl, as I’ve spent so much of my life championing the rights of girls and women, and to be able to see this as a multigenerational story — Archie is of course included in that, my husband is of course included in that — but I love the heritage feeling of it and knowing this is something that I can create in front of my daughter and teach her what it’s like to be a working mom,” Meghan tells PEOPLE.

“This is something that hopefully can be part of her legacy too.”
