Feeling a tropical vibe this holiday season? It seems Prince Harry (39), Duchess Meghan (42), their son Prince Archie (4), and daughter Princess Lilibet (2) share that sentiment. The family swapped their California home for a secret, sun-soaked vacation in the Caribbean. Recently, pictures and videos emerged of the royal quartet in Costa Rica, courtesy of the online portal "CRhoy."
The Costa Rican Directorate General for Immigration and Foreigners confirmed the family's visit upon request. According to their report, the Sussexes entered Costa Rica on December 14, 2023, and left on December 20, 2023. After their tropical adventure, the family plans to return to their estate in Montecito to celebrate the holidays together.

In a Netflix Q&A session, Duchess Meghan revealed that an expensive Leica camera would not be gracing Archie's Christmas list. The aspiring photographer had his heart set on the durable camera, but the duchess put a stop to his wishlist dream. Has Archie managed to persuade his mother into reconsidering her decision?
