Meghan Markle shares video of children Archie and Lilibet making love heart cakes hours after her gushing post kissing Prince Harry and saying she’s ‘missing her Valentine’… after Princess of Wales did the same
Meghan Markle has shared an adorable video of her children making love heart cakes for Valentine’s Day.
In the clip uploaded to her Instagram story the Duchess of Sussex cuts up strawberries in the shape of love hearts, before artistically placing them into an arrangement.
In the background you can see little Lilibet, 3, helping her mother spread the pink cream onto the bagels, before Archie, 5, can be seen looking out the window into their garden.
Prince Harry however is over 1000 miles away at the Invictus Games in Vancouver, which do not end until Sunday.
It come hours after the 43-year-old shared a gushing post with Prince Harry to mark Valentine’s Day.
The sweet photo shows her and Harry pausing a dinner of fish, chips, and burgers in an al fresco location to share a tender kiss.
The post comes after she left the Invictus Games in Canada early to be with the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, at their home in Montecito, California.
‘Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families.
‘Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created.
‘My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you,’ she wrote in the caption.

She signed the post ‘M’ and added the hashtag #lovewins – a slogan usually used to celebrate LGBTQ+ couples.
It comes just hours after the Prince and Princess of Wales shared their first ever Valentine’s Day post.
In a rare and intimate move, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s X and Instagram accounts shared a snap of the royal couple; a still taken from Kate’s deeply emotive video released in September to confirm she had completed chemotherapy.
The photo showed Prince William kissing his wife’s head as they sat among nature in the woodland of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where they spent the summer.
Sharing the photo, the official social media accounts chose a slightly more modest statement of their love; posting simply a heart.
The photo marked the couple’s enduring love – especially after a ‘brutal’ year, in William’s own words.
The Prince described his horror year at the end of 2024 during a visit to South Africa for the Earthshot Prize, saying: ‘It’s probably been the hardest year in my life.’
It was an ‘annus horribilis’ for the Wales family as the Princess received preventative chemotherapy after cancerous cells had been discovered in her body during an abdominal operation in January 2024.
At the same time, it was revealed that William’s father King Charles was receiving cancer treatment.

Meghan was spotted disembarking a private jet which brought her home to California earlier this week.
The Duchess of Sussex, wearing a blue jumper with white letters, was unaccompanied except by a security guard as she stepped off the plush transport inside a hangar at Santa Barbara Airport on Tuesday evening.
Meghan spent five days in Vancouver and the ski resort of Whistler with Harry to mark the seventh edition of the Invictus Games.
Aides said the trip home was pre-planned and Meghan had only intended to stay for five days as she had at the 2023 event in Germany.
Following his wife’s departure, the prince reportedly took a day off to relax and ‘unwind’ ahead of attending the remaining events solo.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday evening, Meghan said she was cheering Harry on from home
The Sussexes will be spending Valentine’s Day apart after Meghan returned alone to the couple’s £12million home in Montecito to see their children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
After Meghan returned to California after five days in Canada, the Duchess showed off a selection of gifts she had brought back from Canada for Archie and Lilibet, including personalised mementos with their names on, in an Instagram post.
In a caption, she wrote: ‘A taste of Canada and The Invictus Games for our little ones! Cheering you [Harry] on from home!’
Harry will stay on in Canada to watch the rest of the tournament for injured service personnel and veterans, which will end with Sunday’s closing ceremony.
Plans were not given in advance for security reasons, and a source close to the couple said: ‘This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children.
‘Meghan left the Games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home. This is Prince Harry’s event and she is there to support him, but this was planned.’
