Meghan Markle shared a series of Instagram videos over the Easter holiday that gave a rare glimpse into her family's celebrations. The clips showed Meghan's two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, running through their backyard in search of Easter eggs, with 4-year-old Lilibet even wearing a pair of bunny ears for the occasion. Other videos featured 6-year-old Archie decorating eggs and the family enjoying other Easter festivities at their Montecito, California home.

Why it matters

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have generally kept their children out of the public eye, so any rare footage or photos of Archie and Lilibet are highly anticipated by royal fans around the world. This home video provides an intimate look at the family's private life and holiday traditions.

In the Instagram videos, Archie and Lilibet can be seen dashing across the lush backyard of the Sussexes' Montecito home, Easter baskets in hand, as they hunt for hidden eggs. Lilibet is wearing a pair of bunny ears, while she and her brother are accompanied by some stuffed animal friends. Other clips show Archie decorating Easter eggs, demonstrating his artistic skills. The holiday festivities come after reports that Meghan was recently spotted shopping for Easter gifts in Montecito, including Magic Rabbit playing cards and Magic Castle Sea Monkeys.
