Meghan Markle and Prince Harry looked like the quintessential California family as they kicked off the weekend at the beach. In a picture shared by TMZ on Friday, August 1, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could be seen swapping out their royal style for a beachy, dressed-down aesthetic with their son, Prince Archie.
Meghan and Harry were in proud parent mode as Archie, 6, surfed the waves during a lesson at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria—proving the young prince is following in his dad’s footsteps. In the photo, the pair—who are also parents to Princess Lilibet, 4—could be seen watching their son’s surf class from the beach and chatting with another couple. The As Ever entrepreneur went casual in ultra-short distressed daisy dukes, which she paired with a breezy white button-down shirt and a straw hat accented with a leather trim. Wearing her dark hair down in a sleek, straight style, Meghan opted to wear a pair of oversized black sunglasses for her sunny beach day.

Meanwhile, Archie’s little sister Lilibet got in on the fun by running after her brother’s bike.
