Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry recently enjoyed a European family vacation that extended beyond a noteworthy reunion with King Charles. On July 23, Meghan shared details of their ‘summer holiday’ through an Instagram carousel. The trip included their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

During their time in Portugal, as suggested by a restaurant sign from the Alentejo region, the family experienced various activities. They spent time at the beach, explored the countryside, and relaxed at a pool. A photo captures Harry playfully flipping Lilibet in the pool while wearing a backwards baseball cap. Another image shows Meghan on the sand watching her children and husband approach a wave. Additionally, Meghan captured her family strolling through a garden, maintaining their children’s privacy by obscuring their faces.

One memorable photo featured Archie in the cockpit of a plane getting guidance from pilots. Harry’s background as an Apache helicopter pilot in the British Army Air Corps complements this experience. Meghan is also pictured with their rescue beagle, Mamma Mia.

The vacation photos surfaced nearly two weeks after a reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla. This meeting marked the first time in four years that Lilibet and Archie saw their grandfather. The reunion, held on July 10 at Highgrove House, was confirmed by Buckingham Palace as a significant moment after Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal roles due to security concerns.
