After spending a few action and PDA-packed days with Prince Harry in Canada, Meghan Markle headed back home to California on February 11 to see her children. While the Duchess of Sussex missed out on the last five days of the 2025 Invictus Games–and Valentine’s Day with Harry–she had a sweet surprise waiting for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for their reunion. The American Riviera Orchard shared a sneak preview of the presents she brought home from her travels–as well as a rare look at her Montecito home–in a surprise post.
The Suits alum was still in Invictus Game mode as she took to Instagram on Wednesday, February 12 with share some goodies for her 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter from the competition. “A taste of Canada and the Invictus Games for our little ones!” she captioned the Instagram Story. “Cheering you on from home!”

In the idyllic snapshot, a variety of Canadian chocolates, an orange frosted cookie with the words “I Am,” and a box of Tim Hortons Hockey Timbits could be seen arranged on a wooden cutting board while two bright green jerseys–one emblazoned with Archie’s name and the other with Lilibet’s name–were folded behind. There was also a little crochet animal propped up against a tin bucket filled with oranges and pomegranates.

While the With Love, Meghan star didn’t reveal how her kids reacted to their gifts, she did share a rare glimpse of her and Prince Harry’s home in the backdrop. The marble kitchen countertop looked out onto a wooden windowsill and an outdoor greenery-filled patio with an outdoor wicker dining table and chairs as well as a bird bath. There also seemed to be a white wooden awning on the left of two stone pillars, giving the outdoor space a mediterranean-meets-countryside appeal.

Meghan’s decision to leave the Invictus Games early “was always planned,” a source close to the couple told The Telegraph, noting “Meghan is going home to be with her children.” Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex appeared to be eager to reunite with her kids even before she left, as the publication also reported that she mentioned that she was missing Archie and Lilibet during the February 9 wheelchair basketball game in Vancouver.
