The Sussexes have been living in California for 5 years and are raising their two children there: Archie and Lilibet. According to the English-language publication HELLO!, a few days before her 44th birthday, Meghan Markle was spotted on a local beach just ten minutes from their home in Montecito, where 6-year-old Archie was learning to surf. According to eyewitnesses, Harry and Meghan were chatting with other mums and dads and were enthusiastically supporting their son as he conquered the waves.

Harry and Meghan were like normal parents, a source told HELLO!. – They were so proud of Archie. It was really sweet to watch them – it was a special time for the whole family.

Archie apparently developed an interest in surfing after his dad took him to meet professional surfer Raymane van Bastolaer last year and they went jet skiing together. The family went to surfing lessons just before Meghan’s 44th birthday. On August 4, 2025, the Duchess celebrated her birthday, and it is known that on this day her brand As Ever marked the occasion by launching new products.
