Prince Harry Shares Surfing Lesson with Son Archie in California

The Duke of Sussex was seen teaching his 5-year-old son to surf at Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch, marking a rare public glimpse of the family’s private life.

Prince Harry and his son Archie, 5, were photographed and filmed surfing at Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California, alongside professional surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer.
Images and videos of the outing, shared by Van Bastolaer on social media, included Harry riding waves and the father-son duo posing on a jet ski, though some posts were later removed.
The surf ranch, known for its 6-foot artificial waves and World Surf League accreditation, offers a unique surf experience far from the California coast.
This rare public appearance of Archie aligns with the Sussexes' ongoing efforts to maintain their children's privacy, as seen in their 2024 holiday card featuring photos of Archie and Lilibet from behind.
Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to California in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties, with Meghan reportedly gifting Harry surfing lessons for his birthday in the early years of their move.
