The Duke of Sussex has reunited with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

In the final Instagram story, Meghan captured a touching moment as Lilibet's hands could be seen passing Harry a slice of cake.

Harry can be heard laughing and saying "Thank you" as his daughter, wearing white pyjamas with red and green flower motifs, handed him the treat.

Meghan captioned the clip: "A special gift 'papa brought back from Ukraine.'"

The video offered a rare glimpse of Lilibet, whose red hair was visible, a trait Prince Harry has previously said comes from his mother Princess Diana's side of the family.
