Meghan and Lilibet spotted in rare outing

There has been a rare sighting of Meghan Markle and her daughter, Princess Lilibet, in California.

The royal mother-daughter duo were spotted close to their home in Montecito, California, as they joined revellers to celebrate the Fourth of July in a parade.

Prince Harry and Prince Archie, four, were also in attendance but in the short clip shared on social media, they are obscured by other members of the crowd watching the event.

The video of the royal sighting was posted by a local hotel, which shows an Independence Day parade featuring a display of vintage and modern cars, along with local ambulances and fire trucks, making its way from the San Ysidro Road towards East Valley.

Meghan can be seen crouching on the ground with her arms around Lilibet, who is waving an American flag pinwheel, as they both wave to the people in the parade.

Prince Harry was also spotted, dressed in casual wear, carrying Lilibet through the crowd.

The rare sighting comes just days after the Sussexes continue to sit out official royal events, as King Charles celebrated his second coronation.

King Charles celebrated his coronation a second time during a ceremony in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, just two months after being crowned King in London.

The monarch was joined by Queen Camilla, and Prince and Princess of Wales, who are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, for a Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication held in his honour.

Despite the grand and emotional service, the ceremony was slightly marred by anti-monarch protestors outside.

The protestors stood chanting "not my King" for hours on end so loudly, that the voices could be heard from inside the church during the quieter moments of the ceremony.
