A Labor Day playlist, matching headphones, and even a clapperboard cameo — Meghan Markle’s latest Instagram post has given royal watchers one of the most candid looks yet at her family life with Prince Harry and their children.
Over the holiday weekend, the Duchess of Sussex surprised fans by sharing a carousel of behind-the-scenes photographs from the filming of With Love, Meghan Season 2, her Netflix lifestyle series. While most of the post highlighted production shots and set details, three of the images included glimpses of Archie and Lilibet — a rare move from a mother who has long guarded her children’s privacy.
Archie and Lilibet step into the frame
In one photo, the siblings are pictured from behind, perched side by side in front of a production monitor. Each wears oversized black headphones, their matching shock of red hair — unmistakably inherited from Prince Harry — catching the light as they watch the scene unfold.
Another image captures four-year-old Lilibet alone in a director’s chair, her small frame swallowed by the leather seat. Dressed in a pale pink jumper and navy polka-dot trousers, she looks away from the camera, her face carefully obscured.
Meanwhile, Archie takes a more active role: the six-year-old is seen clutching a clapperboard used to mark takes, his face hidden behind a playful heart emoji. The board itself is marked with a filming date of November 1, 2024.
“Work hard, play hard”
The caption alongside the post revealed that music played a big part in keeping the set’s atmosphere light during production.
“Filming season two of With Love, Meghan was more fun than you can imagine,” the Duchess wrote. “Part of how we kept the vibe alive? Music. Between set ups I would play a song from my phone, and today I wanted to share some of the favorites I kept on rotation! Add them to your playlist, press shuffle, and enjoy! Happy Labor Day weekend! Work hard, play hard.”
For fans who have followed the Sussexes’ careful balance between public work and private family life, the post marks one of the most intimate glimpses yet into the couple’s world in California — and the presence of Archie and Lilibet suggests that, this time, Meghan wanted to let the next generation of Sussexes have their own quiet moment in the spotlight.
