Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted enjoying a relaxed day at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria, California, on August 1, 2025. Their son, Prince Archie, now 6 years old, stole the spotlight as he took surfing lessons during the family outing.
While Archie braved the waves, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex watched from the sand. Harry kept it casual in a gray T-shirt, black shorts, and a tan baseball cap, while Meghan wore a white rolled-sleeve shirt, shorts, and a wide-brimmed sun hat to shield herself from the sun. Their daughter, Princess Lilibet, was not seen at the beach.
Reactions to their parenting choices
The sighting quickly drew reactions across social media. Many fans celebrated seeing Archie try something new. “Out there, living their best lives. Oh, this makes me so happy for them,” one user wrote. Another added, “Archie is gonna be so cool, a real California boy.”

Not all comments were positive, however. Some criticized the couple, suggesting they were not keeping a close enough eye on their son during his surfing lessons. “Your 6-year-old is on the sea and you don’t watch them closely? Don’t you worry about it?” one person questioned.
Despite the mixed opinions, most online reactions leaned toward admiration for the couple’s efforts to give Archie an active and adventurous childhood.
