Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted enjoying a relaxed family day out with their 6-year-old son, Prince Archie, at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria, California, on Friday.
The outing offered a rare glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex soaking in the summer sun while cheering on Archie, who was seen taking surfing lessons.
The young royal appeared to be following in his father’s footsteps, showing enthusiasm for the waves a sport Prince Harry has long enjoyed.
This wasn't Archie’s first time on a surfboard. He was previously seen having surfing lessons with Harry earlier this year in January.
While Archie embraced the waves, Meghan and Harry kept a low profile, relaxing on the sand and engaging in casual conversations with fellow beachgoers, according to TMZ reports.
Photos showed the Duchess dressed in a breezy white shirt, rolled-up sleeves, and shorts, paired with a beige sun hat to shield herself from the sun.
Prince Harry sported a gray T-shirt, black shorts, and a tan baseball cap, looking every bit the laid-back dad.
Notably absent from the outing was the couple’s younger child, Princess Lilibet, 3, who did not accompany her parents and brother to the beach.
This beach trip comes just weeks after the Sussexes shared a peek into their Fourth of July celebrations.
Meghan recently posted a video on Instagram assembling a red, white, and blue-themed charcuterie board, showcasing how she and the children marked the holiday at home.
Married since 2018, Harry and Meghan have consistently emphasised the importance of putting family first despite their busy lives.
