Meghan Markle recently made an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" as Halloween season approached. Like families all around the world, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, are getting ready for the spooky celebrations. These royal parents to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have previously given us a glimpse into their Halloween traditions.
Back in 2019, the Sussexes shared a heartwarming post on their now-inactive Sussex Royal Instagram account. They sent out warm Halloween wishes with a touching message, "Happy Halloween, wishing you a safe and happy Halloween from our family and our little pumpkin to you." Accompanying these lovely wishes was a glamorous photo from their royal visit to New Zealand. It captured the joyful pre-Halloween moments.
In her recent appearance on "Ellen," Meghan recounted some of their Halloween adventures. Despite their Royal status, the excitement of children about Halloween isn't always as expected. Meghan couldn't help but chuckle as she shared, "We wanted to do something fun for the kids, but the kids did not enjoy it at all." Archie briefly wore a dinosaur costume, but Meghan revealed that he was a dinosaur for maybe 5 minutes, and then Harry convinced him to wear their adorable daughter's skunk costume. Inspired by the flower in the classic Disney film "Bambi," Lilibet charmed everyone with her costume choice.
These intimate and relatable moments shared by the Sussexes have endeared the royal family even more to the public. It's clear that Halloween fun is not just a concept in their home. The festive spirit prevails, and family bonding is at the heart of their celebrations.
But the Halloween tradition doesn't end at home for the Sussexes. In their early days, Harry and Meghan enjoyed a Halloween night out with Harry's cousins, Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. This Royal foursome got into the festive spirit, demonstrating that even members of the Royal Family can partake in casual Halloween fun.
As Halloween approaches, it's evident that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appreciate holiday fun just like any other family. Their openness and the intimate moments they've shared over the years remind us that, despite their Royal titles, they still enjoy the simple pleasures of family life. They make Halloween a time for family and laughter, just like countless other households. It's a time for laughter and family bonding.
As families everywhere prepare for their own Halloween celebrations, this heartwarming Sussex tradition serves as a reminder of the universal spirit of togetherness that defines the spooky season.
