Meghan Markle and Prince Harry celebrated their wedding anniversary with their kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. They blew out candles on a lemon and eldwerflower cake, the same flavor that the London bakery owner Claire Ptak used for their actual wedding cake in 2018.

Notably, the Duke of Sussex surprised his wife with a bronze sculpture of two penguins nestled closely together. "When mama and papa got engaged, we had a party with all of our friends, and we said, ‘Everyone wear an animal onesie,’" Meghan told their kids, noting, "we were penguins."
