Meghan Markle Rocked A $1,600 Outfit For Family Pumpkin Patch Outing

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry enjoyed a relaxed Halloween weekend at a Santa Barbara pumpkin patch with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex looked effortlessly chic in an expensive Anine Bing jacket and CO Leather boots, while Harry kept it casual.

Earlier this year, Meghan Markle shared heartwarming footage of the family’s Disneyland visit, including Lilibet’s fourth birthday celebration, offering rare glimpses into their private life in Montecito.

In a video shared on Instagram, Meghan was spotted strolling hand in hand with Harry as their children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, explored a pumpkin patch near their Montecito home in California during a casual Halloween weekend outing.

Even for a laid-back family day, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, brought her signature style. She wore a $400 brown padded ‘Luca’ jacket by Anine Bing, the same one she recently sported at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., paired with black skinny jeans and $1,195 CO Leather riding boots.

Meghan’s hair was pulled back into a simple low ponytail, completing the relaxed look.

On the other hand, Prince Harry opted for comfort in jeans, a hoodie, and a baseball cap as the family spent the day at Lane Farms in Santa Barbara, a cozy autumn spot just minutes from their Montecito estate.

At one point, the camera lingered on Meghan and Harry as they stood hand in hand, watching Archie excitedly sort through the farm’s pumpkins before dashing off into a corn maze.

They were joined by Meghan’s longtime friend Markus Anderson and her mother, Doria Ragland, who took part in a pumpkin-carving session. Harry showed off his creative side, carefully carving a spooky face into his own jack-o’-lantern.

The video also offered a rare look at Archie and Lilibet’s matching auburn hair, a sweet nod to their father’s trademark shade as they explored the farm’s colorful produce. In one heartwarming moment, Meghan was seen gently patting Archie’s head, while in another, she led Lilibet on a trailer ride beside a pile of freshly picked pumpkins.

The post was captioned simply, “Happy Sunday,” accompanied by a pumpkin and heart emoji.

The family’s recent pumpkin patch visit comes just days after Meghan offered a rare glimpse into life at home in Montecito, and one of the small traditions that keeps their household connected.

During a Godmothers Bookstore livestream on Wednesday, October 23, the As Ever founder shared that she encourages her children to reflect on their day by sharing a “rose and thorn” at dinner: the best part of their day and something that “maybe didn’t feel so good.”

“Especially with young children, it’s a great opener for, you know, when you get to that stage where your kids just give you a yes or no answer,” Meghan explained.

Lately, however, her daughter seems to have little to complain about.

“Our daughter — she’s 4, and she’s a very strong personality and she’s incredible,” Meghan said, per People Magazine. “And now she’s in this moment where I say, ‘What’s your rose and your thorn?’ And she goes, ‘My day was just a blast.”

In June, Meghan posted footage of Archie and Lilibet enjoying a day at Disneyland. The clip showed the siblings soaking up the theme park’s magic, along with shots of the treats they had there.

A shot of a two-tier cake decorated with beloved characters like Ariel and Sebastian was also shown, alongside wholesome moments of the young royals enjoying park rides with Harry and Meghan.

In a more recent post, Meghan celebrated her daughter on International Day of the Girl, while sharing kind words for women around the world.

The duchess’s empowering message read: “To all the girls – this world is yours. Do everything you can to protect your rights, use your voice, and support each other. We will do the same for you. It’s your right and our responsibility. Go get ’em, girl! Happy International Day of the Girl.”

Meghan and Harry were recently recognized as “Humanitarians of the Year” at Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Gala.

At the event, the royals took to the stage to accept their award, during which they shared heartfelt remarks about raising kids in the age of technology and the internet.

Meghan said, “Our children, Archie and Lili, are just six and four years old. Luckily still too young for social media, but we know that day is coming. Like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technology’s benefits, while safeguarding against its dangers.”

The former actress then spoke about the growing challenge of shielding the young prince and princess from online harm, noting, “That hopeful intention of separation is rapidly becoming impossible.”

Harry echoed Meghan’s sentiments, calling this “a pivotal moment in our collective mission to protect children and support families in a digital age.”
