Every year, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, prepare for a very special day.*
Since relocating to the United States, the Sussexes have embraced the grand tradition of celebrating the 4th of July—the country’s Independence Day.
Meghan and Harry celebrate U.S. independence
On this day, millions of Americans come together with their loved ones to commemorate the historic moment when they declared independence from British rule in the 18th century.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, now residing in Montecito, California, join their fellow Americans in marking this significant occasion.
Their celebration includes not only fireworks and festivities but also cherished family moments.
Prince Harry, donning sunglasses and a baseball cap, and their younger son, dressed in a paisley-print summer outfit, attended the Village Road Show organized by the Montecito Association.
In 2022, the family was spotted watching the parade in Jackson Hole Valley, Wyoming, during a friendly visit.
For Prince Harry, this American celebration holds a special place in his heart. It was on the 4th of July in 2016 that he had one of his early dates with his now-wife, Meghan Markle.
Prince Harry’s Transition to U.S. Residency
After stepping back from senior royal duties in the U.K., Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a significant move to the United States.
In 2020, they settled in a luxurious mansion in Montecito, California. Their new life includes raising their two children, 5-year-old Prince Archie and 3-year-old Princess Lilibet.
