New glimpses from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s life in the UK have grabbed spotlight.

Nearly a month after their return to England with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hosted some special guests from California at their new home.

The As Ever founder’s friend Kelly McKee Zajfen recently became the first of her California pals to visit the Duchess since their relocation to the United Kingdom last month on August 26.

Taking to Instagram, Kelly shared a carousel of glimpses from her trip to the UK, offering peeks into Meghan and Harry’s life in the English countryside.

The post, which included the latest snaps of the Sussexes, showed Meghan cuddling Kelly’s infant son, Jack, during a cozy pub meal.

Meanwhile, another shot captured Prince Harry bringing out his inner child as he lay on the floor playing with the baby boy.

One of the photos featured the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter, Princess Lilibet, playing with Jack, while another showed Kelly, Meghan, and her longtime friend Marcus Anderson playing mahjong at they enjoyed wine in the backyard.

“Having the best time. There’s something so special about getting a taste of this magical place with my bestie, and having my sweet Jack along for the adventure. I’ve loved seeing this sweet chapter through her eyes and daily adventures! Especially getting to experience so many little firsts with Jack by my side,” captioned Kelly.

She continued, “Family time is just what the heart ordered. With a side of mashed peas and fish n chips! All of it has filled my heart. [GB] you’ve been so good to us. We’re leaving with full hearts and definitely leaving a piece of ours here.”

The caption concluded, “To everyone we’ve met or bumped into, thank you for being so loving to my friend. It’s been beautiful to witness. She missed you too! Cheerio!”
