Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s kids may have spent the majority of their lives in the U.S., but that hasn’t stopped them from picking up a few noticeable English traits.

On September 13, one month after their long-anticipated return to Harry’s homeland, Meghan shared the first video update on her family’s life in the U.K. so far. The Instagram Reel featured glimpses of the family—and their black Labrador retriever Pula and beagle Mia—enjoying the English countryside.
Notably, halfway through the video compilation, Prince Archie, 7, darts out past his sister Princess Lilibet, 5, as she attempts to ride a bike with training wheels down a grassy path. “Go! Go!” he shouts encouragingly, speaking in a British accent, as he runs up ahead to get a closer look at a flock of deer.

The video marks the first time the young royal has spoken on camera, and it seems his red hairisn’t the only trait he’s inherited from his father. While Archie was born in London and stayed in the U.K. for the first eight months of his infancy, the young prince has spent the majority of his life in Montecito, California, where his family maintains a $14.6 million mansion. Growing up with one parent from the U.K., however, it seems like Archie may be acclimating to life in England faster than expected.

Other clips in the Reel show Meghan and Harry walking down a tree-lined path, Harry teaching the children how to fish on a lake, and Lilibet stomping in a muddy rain puddle. In the background of a clip showing a fish flopping in the water, Archie can also be heard saying, “I’ve got this,” once again sharing a rare snippet of his English accent.
Meghan’s post comes just days after Archie and Lilibet began a new term at their first school in the U.K.
