Meghan Markle photographed in short shorts on vacation with Prince Harry

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were captured during a family vacation on the California coast. Exclusive photos were published by the Page Six portal.

Paparazzi managed to photograph Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on August 1 at a beach in Carpinteria, where the royal couple spent time with their six-year-old son Archie and friends. The Duchess appeared before the cameras in an elegant beach outfit: a white shirt, denim shorts, sunglasses, and a hat. Prince Harry chose a more understated look - a dark gray t-shirt, black shorts, a beige cap, and glasses.

According to journalists, little Prince Archie was learning to surf while his parents chatted with friends. Three-year-old Princess Lilibet presumably stayed at home.

Meanwhile, a Radar Online insider recently reported about the difficult situation Meghan Markle found herself in after Netflix streaming service terminated a $100 million contract with the couple. According to the source, the Duchess of Sussex is concerned about potentially losing popularity and is willing to do a lot to maintain public attention. The insider claims that Meghan even considered the possibility of becoming a host on The View alongside Whoopi Goldberg, however, such an option is currently unavailable.
