Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent whirlwind trip to Australia included a heartwarming visit to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, the Australian National Veterans Art Museum in Southbank, the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, and so much more. Whew! That’s a tiring four days for sure.
If you missed any of the couple’s trip, Markle just posted a montage of videos, featuring almost every step of the way. So if you were camping in a cave, your WiFi went out, or you somehow managed to scroll over the pretty steady barrage of media shots from the Duke and Duchess’s spree down under, you can catch up right now. Along with the clips, the mom-of-two added the caption “Australia, you have our hearts” to her Instagram post.

While it wasn’t technically a royal tour, the action-packed vacation kind of felt like it. But alas, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are back home stateside and were welcomed with a fanfare (or at least a banner and some well-wishes). It seems like the pair’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are the ones who set up the surprise before their famous parents’ return.
Markle recently posted a clip of a stylish “Welcome Home” banner on Instagram. She also added another video, featuring a bag of Tim Tams chocolate cookies, wrapped candies, children’s books, and a note. Presumably, the souvenirs are gifts for the Duchess’s littles.
As her kiddos were welcoming her back, Markle was also quietly releasing a sneak peek into her new As ever Mother’s Day collection—including candles inspired by none other than Archie and Lilibet. The new line, which officially launches on April 22, features the Signature Candle No. 506 (a reference to Archie’s May 6 birth date) and the Signature Candle No. 604 (which corresponds to Lilibet’s June 4 birth date).
Of course, this isn’t the first time Markle’s lifestyle brand has released products honoring her family. As ever’s Signature Candle No. 519 is a loving tribute to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding day, and Signature Candle No. 084 reflects Meghan’s August 4 birth date.
Last month, Markle shared a behind-the-scenes look into an As ever photo shoot. The backyard session included adorable intrusions from both Archie and Lilibet as well as a sweet mommy-daughter moment. She also added a snapshot of herself hard at work arranging flowers on an outdoor table with her daughter hiding out underneath. Adorable!
