Meghan posted 34 seconds of family footage to Instagram, soundtracked by Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. It opens with her and Harry on a country path as she turns and says "come on, you".

Deer, bikes and fishing

Archie runs towards deer, Lilibet rides her bike, and Harry fishes with the children while the dog trots along the water. UK flags and heart emojis run through it.

First post since the move

It is the first time Meghan has put her family on her Instagram grid since the Sussexes left California for Britain. When and where it was filmed is not clear.

One shot shows wellington boots stomping in a puddle, and the children wear waterproof boots. September in the UK has been wet, after the hottest summer on record.

Archie is seven, Lilibet five. Meghan does show them occasionally, but usually from behind or with faces hidden, so this is unusually open.

The family will base themselves near London in the Cotswolds, with the children in school. A letter from King Charles confirmed they stay non-working royals with no HRH titles.
