It’s been quite the year for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. They welcomed their first child, Archie, went on a royal tour of southern Africa, launched a battle with the tabloids, and, oh yeah, casually met Beyoncé. Truthfully, it was all just in a year’s work for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are currently taking a well-deserved break out of the spotlight for the holidays.

Parenting is amazing.” But they’ve also shared some sweet moments just the two of them. Below, the 9 times Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made us swoon the most.
