“People are weird.” A line from Barbie actress Margot Robbie may not have much to do on a topic that speaks about parenthood and its joys. Yet, remarkably, it does! As humans, we are much more than flesh and bones, with emotional concoctions declaring the wills and whims of the mind. Somehow, the sound of a baby cooing or the sight of a toddler gleefully soaking in the joys of childhood calms the human mind innately. Now entering the scene are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry alongside a parenthood of adorability with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

To put the aforementioned theory to the test, here are the best three heartwarming moments of the Sussexes that radiate positivity.

1. Montecito car parade – July 4, 2023

Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor channeled herself as an American princess, as Prince Harry held her in his arms. Dressed in red shoes, white stockings, and a blue-white floral dress, the two-year-old stole the show as she soaked in the sights at the Montecito parade. The city, being home to the Sussexes, showcased a car parade to celebrate Independence Day. Among the highlights were Uncle Sam, Lady Liberty, and King George III. The cameras could hardly take their eyes off the Princess, who looked in every direction as she made her way in brightly colored vintage cars.

Interestingly, Prince Harry also came across as a loving dad. Donning dark jeans, and a green crew shirt alongside an olive baseball cap and shades, the Duke of Sussex’s simple act of carrying around his little princess tugged many hearts. At one point in time, it could even appear that not the parade but the sheer adorability of the Princess was the prime gaze as all eyes looked at her gleefully.

2. Trick n’ Treat – Halloween 2023

Halloween always remains a pivotal tradition rooted in American culture. The holiday not only serves a lifetime of memories but also ekes out time for kids to bond closely with their parents as well as neighbors and peers. While many star kids such as North West dressed in unique ways and complemented their parents, the Sussex family went hand-in-hand with one another. Taking the essence of the festival by the core, Prince Archie dressed himself up as a skeleton, while Princess Archie echoed cuteness in a pink costume.

A heart-warming show appeared when this time around, Meghan Markle held up her daughter in her arms. Dressed in a black T-shirt, dark blue jeans, and a black cap, the Duchess of Sussex left no route without smiling and ever so slightly lifting her baby closer to her heart. The mother’s affection for her daughter matched the father’s as Prince Harry gripped his hands around Prince Archie’s. Holding the Princess’ bucket in another hand, the Duke made an outing in casual outfits but won hearts oceans across.

3. Costa Rica Excursion – December, 2023

Amid heightened tensions with Buckingham Palace, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle knit themselves closer to their kids. With the year coming to a close, the family of four took on a vacation and bonded to the hearts. All along, from December 14th to 20th, the Sussexes explored Zapotal, Nandayure, and Guanacaste of Costa Rica. However, it was once again those little acts of parental love and affection that stole the show and exuded heartwarming joy. The family went around with a stroll on the beach, golf cart rides, and even surfing.

At four and two years of age, the Sussex kids, however, stood too young to take on the waves. Yet, that was no bummer. In a jiffy, the two siblings took to building sandcastles, adorning them with their creative inputs. Soon after, the two also lined up near the shore and took short splashes of the waves while smiles radiated from all their faces and many corners of the Internet. The family also toured Playa Carrillo as they took their time to feel the sun along the beaches of Guanacaste Province.
