Pumpkins, Play, and a Tender Family Walk

In one tender scene from the clip, Meghan and Harry walked beside their son, Archie, through rows of bright orange pumpkins. Meghan rested a protective hand on his shoulder while Harry, in jeans and a gray hoodie, walked a few steps ahead. The overcast sky and rustic path give the moment a cozy, intimate feel.

Then came a sweet moment: Meghan pulled a small wooden wagon loaded with pumpkins, and a smiling Lilibet nestled among them as golden autumn fields and hay bales formed the backdrop. Dressed casually in boots and a quilted jacket, the mother of two radiated warmth in the serene autumn setting.

Fans React and Critics Weigh In

As soon as the video hit several platforms, fans swarmed social media, celebrating the children's growth while also noticing smaller details. One fan on X wrote, "Archie is getting so big!!" while a second added, "Archie really is his Dad's mini."

Others echoed the sentiment, with one saying, "Archie walks like his dad," and another penning, "Archie is literally a mini Harry down to the clothes." One person on Facebook noted the resemblance between the children and Harry's hair color, writing,"The have prince harry red hair [sic],"

While many praised the children's cuteness and resemblance to their parents, others took issue with what the children were wearing on a chilly autumn day.

One critic wrote, "Strange that Archie doesn't have shoes on in one photo and Lilibet doesn't seem to have enough clothes on! MM has on a jacket!"

Another commented, "So Lili is still wearing PJ's with no coat? Hard to tell if Archie has a coat on. But H&M make sure they are bundled properly [sic]." A third chimed in sharply, "In her pjs yet again. 🙄"

And it wasn't just the outfits drawing attention. One netizen remarked on Lilibet's hair, saying, "Her daughter never has her hair combed always looks tangled but Megan always looks nicely combed.. Lol [sic]."

The warmth and simplicity of the video offered something rarely seen — a genuine, unstaged family moment. While Fans cherished this glimpse into the Sussex family's private world, Meghan recently also provided further insight into her daily life.
