Ducks, dresses and distance: Meghan’s Easter moment contrasts royal tradition

On Easter Sunday, Meghan Markle offered a heartwarming glimpse into her California lifestyle with a surprise Instagram post. From her serene Montecito estate, she shared a brief yet delightful clip capturing a mother duck leading her ducklings across a garden path. The scene exuded charm and seasonal spirit.

Barefoot and dressed in a flowing white outfit, Meghan was visibly enchanted by the moment—smiling broadly, covering her mouth with joy, and moving her arms in delight. The video was tagged with the warm message: “Wishing you a Happy Easter full of love…and surprises!”

Adding to the festive spirit, Meghan earlier curated a spring-themed ‘Easter Edit’ on her ShopMy Instagram platform. The collection featured handpicked selections of children’s fashion, playful toys, and seasonal goodies—ideal for celebrating the renewal of spring.

Across the Atlantic, the British royal family marked Easter more traditionally. King Charles III and Queen Camilla were seen attending the annual Easter Matins Service at Windsor’s historic St. George’s Chapel. Other senior royals joined them for the occasion.

Conspicuously missing were Prince William and Kate Middleton, who opted out of the church event this year. Prince Harry and Meghan, meanwhile, have never taken part in the Royal Family’s Easter gatherings.

According to People, although Meghan joined in various royal traditions during her time in the UK, Easter wasn’t one of them. Harry’s memoir Spare touches on a past disagreement with the Waleses regarding Easter plans.
