In a delightful glimpse into their post-royal family life, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated Halloween with some heartwarming traditions that included a very special first for Prince Harry.
A Royal First: Harry's Pumpkin Adventure
The former senior royal, who had never carved a pumpkin before this Halloween, finally took up the seasonal activity with his family in their Montecito home. Meghan Markle shared these precious family moments, revealing how their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, enjoyed the festive celebrations.
Family Traditions in California
The Sussex family has been creating their own holiday traditions since moving to the United States. Their Halloween celebrations included:
- Prince Harry's inaugural pumpkin carving experience
- Traditional trick-or-treating with the children
- Family-oriented activities that reflect their California lifestyle
- Creating new memories away from the royal spotlight
Meghan's revelation about Harry's pumpkin carving debut shows how the couple is experiencing many "firsts" together as they build their life outside the royal institution. The former actress, who grew up with American Halloween traditions, appears to be introducing her British husband to the full experience of the holiday.
Building New Family Memories
The Halloween celebration marks another chapter in the Sussexes' journey of creating their own family identity. While maintaining some royal traditions, they're also embracing American customs and creating unique experiences for their young children.
This intimate look into their family life comes as the couple continues to balance public visibility with private family moments, showing a side of royal-adjacent life that fans rarely saw during their time as working royals.
