Meghan Markle Goes Low-Key in Zara Jacket to Shop for Archie and Lilibet's Easter Basket

Meghan markle shopping toys montecito.

Meghan Markle was spotted at a toy store near her Montecito home to pick up a few classic toys just a few days before Easter. Wearing a neutral, layered ensemble and a baseball cap, Meghan was seen carrying two large shopping bags, possibly full of surprises for Archie and Lilibet’s Easter baskets. Meghan tried to stay low-key, slipping into the shop and back out to her car as discreetly as she could.

According to reports, Markle picked up a set of Magic Rabbit playing cards and a set of Magic Castle Sea Monkeys, perfect presents for Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4. The classic toys are a throwback to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s childhoods several decades ago. With Meghan’s penchant for crafting and party planning, she would definitely have an over-the-top theme planned for Archie and Lili’s Easter Baskets—perhaps a vintage vibe?

The Duchess of Sussex wrapped up in the breezy spring weather, wearing a scarf over a camel cable knit sweater, straight leg jeans, and beige loafers from Loro Piana. Meghan kept her trip low-key in a white baseball hat, which shielded her face from onlookers, and kept her makeup and her jewelry simple for the quick toy shop trip.

Santa Monica weather can still be unpredictable this early in the spring, and the oversized parka from Zara—at a very appealing price point—tied the whole look together and kept Meghan warm in the breezy temps.

In 2025, Meghan wished everyone “a Happy Easter, full of love…and surprises!” as she shared a video of a duck and her ducklings scurrying along their driveway on Instagram.

Prince Harry is returning from a trip to Washington, D.C., where he gave a keynote speech at the IAPP conference earlier this week, but Meghan and Harry are expected to spend Easter in Montecito with their children—perhaps with some Sea Monkeys in tow.
