Meghan Markle shares playful video of Prince Harry surfing in California

WATCH: Prince Harry returns to court in UK

Meghan Markle is showing some social media love to Prince Harry, posting a rare and playful video of her husband surfing in California.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, the Duchess of Sussex posted a video on Instagram of Harry surfing, set to Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue's 1993 hit "Whatta Man."

She captioned the clips: "We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this important message: 🦊."

The Duke of Sussex was seen navigating the waves in a series of clips, a sport he has embraced since relocating to California.

It's not the first time Harry's surfing skills have made headlines.

In October 2024, professional surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer shared footage of him riding waves at Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch.

Van Bastolaer praised the prince in his caption: "In Tahiti, we still call you Prince Harry but at Surfranch, it’s my Brother. It was an honor to have you surf with me & @kellyslater @michaelanders_ at @kswaveco."

The surf tribute comes just days after Meghan marked her 44th birthday.

She posted a photo of herself blowing out candles with the caption: "Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours, and thanking my husband, friends and family for making it so special. To those of you I don’t know, but who send love every day — thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it ❤️."

Meghan is also preparing for the return of her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan," which launches its new season on Aug. 26.
