Meghan Markle’s close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen travelled to the UK with her husband, Julian, and their son, Jack. During the trip, they spent several days staying with Meghan and Prince Harry. Kelly has now shared candid glimpses from their family visit.

The photos capture a relaxed, homely atmosphere. In one of the images, for example, Prince Harry is seen playing with little Jack on the floor.

The photos also include a particularly rare glimpse of five-year-old Lilibet. In the picture, the little girl is playing with the younger children. As usual, however, Meghan and Harry’s daughter’s face is not visible. The Sussexes rarely show their children in public.

Kelly also shared moments from their time together. In one of the photos, Meghan, her friend and the family’s longtime friend Marcus Anderson are playing mahjong in the garden.

«There’s something so special about experiencing this magical place with my best friend», Kelly wrote in the caption. She added that it was meaningful to see this new chapter of Meghan’s life through the eyes of a friend.

She also thanked the people she met during the trip for the warmth they showed Meghan. According to Kelly, it was especially heartwarming to see such support.

«She missed you, too», the Duchess’s friend added.

Kelly and Meghan have been friends for many years. The trip therefore gave her an opportunity not only to spend time with her longtime friend, but also to see a new chapter in the Sussexes’ life in the UK. For fans, it also offered a rare glimpse into family moments that usually remain behind the scenes.
