Meghan Markle on Friday surprised fans by sharing a rare glimpse of her husband, Prince Harry, enjoying one of his favorite hobbies: surfing. The Duchess of Sussex posted the clip on her Instagram account which showed the Duke of Sussex skillfully riding bright blue California waves.
Wearing a long-sleeve surf top and a backward baseball cap, Prince Harry operated the board with excellence. At one point, Prince Harry even crouched under the curling wave to authenticate just how much he has taken into the lifestyle of California ever since he moved there in 2020.
The video was paired with the 1993 hit from Salt N Pepa, called "Whatta Man," and a cheeky caption that read: "We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this important message.” She also added a fox emoji.
According to People magazine, the emoji is a nod to Meghan’s nickname for Harry which she previously revealed in interviews.
Meghan Markle turned off comments on the post and even shared the post on her Instagram Stories, where it quickly gained attention from fans and news outlets worldwide.
