An insider has revealed how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry managed to move discreetly through one of the world’s most popular amusement parks during a recent family visit.
While celebrating Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to Disneyland in the United States, successfully avoiding public attention.
To protect their privacy, Archie and Lilibet wore Mickey and Minnie Mouse hats along with sunglasses, helping conceal their identities in more public parts of the park.
According to a source who spoke to Hello! magazine, the family likely used a special package that allowed them to stay away from large crowds.
It’s believed they were granted access to backstage entrances typically reserved for staff, which enabled them to skip lines and move through the park more privately.
Disneyland also offers a Private VIP Tour service that allows guests to enjoy attractions more efficiently—something Harry and Meghan may have taken advantage of.
The Sussexes are known for safeguarding their children’s privacy, and the footage they shared from the visit reflected that. Meghan made sure their children’s faces were covered with heart emojis in the images and videos posted online.
The birthday montage included several sweet moments: Harry riding the Buzz Lightyear ride with Lilibet, the family enjoying attractions like the carousel and log flume, and both children meeting Elsa from Frozen.
One clip showed Meghan gently holding her children’s hands as they walked up to take photos with the Disney princess.
Meghan thanked the park in a cheerful post, writing, “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” accompanied by the classic tune “It’s a Good Day” by Peggy Lee.
Despite the family’s high profile, fans were surprised that their visit remained so private.
Some took to social media to express disbelief that no visitors recognized or photographed the royal couple.
One user questioned whether Disneyland had helped coordinate privacy, while another noted how unusual it was for such a public outing to leave no digital trace from other park-goers.
Earlier that week, Meghan also shared never-before-seen photos from Lilibet’s birthday celebration.
The images included a black-and-white photo of Meghan cuddling her daughter, a video of her and Harry dancing shortly before Lilibet’s birth, and several tender moments between the children and their parents.
With careful planning and a focus on privacy, the Sussex family was able to enjoy a magical and memorable time together away from the spotlight.
