Meghan Markle Reveals Adorable Details About Life With Archie and Lilibet

by

The only thing sweeter than Meghan Markle‘s fruit jams is her motherhood journey. 

Regardless of her commitments to her lifestyle brand As Ever, the Duchess of Sussex has consistently found time for her husband Prince Harry’s son Archie (age 6) and Princess Lilibet (age 3).

On The Jamie Kern Lima Show in April, Meghan expressed, “I believe they’ll think, ‘Wow, no one has ever loved someone as much as our mom loved us.’ This sentiment guides me in my daily interactions with them.

She clarified, “The most rewarding aspect of motherhood for me is not about grand displays. Instead, it’s about recognizing my children, providing care for them, and seeing them so profoundly that I can witness their development. I am incredibly proud of them.

The former ‘Suits’ star underscored the significant role parents play in a child’s development, noting that they help nurture confidence and self-worth. In her words, “Parenting involves observing as you construct their self-assurance and self-respect.

As a devoted follower, I can attest that, in numerous aspects, my little ones mirror my actions. Though the journey of entrepreneurship proves challenging, Meghan, at 43, expresses that the unwavering support from Harry, Archie, and Lilibet has significantly eased this path for me.

At the TIME100 Summit last month, she expressed that she’s never been happier. She attributed this to having a loving husband who is incredibly supportive, as well as having children who are thriving in the joy and security of their lives that they both provide.

She confessed, “Among everything that has transpired in my journey, I never thought I’d end up in this place.

Meghan, married to Harry in 2018, has also shared her passion for flower arranging with her children, adding a splash of color not just to their household, but to her own life as well.

In March,” she shared with her Godmothers on Substack, “while I was there, arranging each petal, shifting a tiny sweet pea from one location to another, twisting the vase to view it from all angles, and darting back outside to snip more small flowers or pick fresh mint and rosemary blooms for additional depth and intrigue—every single moment of that process feels like pure magic to me.

What’s more delightful is that my children have pitched in to assist with preparations as well, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

He said to Sky News in 2015 that it isn’t possible to rush such matters; they will occur when the time is right. When asked if the birth of his niece Princess Charlotte made him consider settling down, he explained that he would dearly love to have children at that moment, but there’s a procedure one must follow first.

In years past, Meghan Markle also bought a Cartier French Tank watch with her future child in mind. She shared with Hello! in 2015 that she had long admired this watch. When Suits was renewed for our third season, which seemed like a significant achievement at the time, she decided to treat herself and purchased the two-tone version. The watch has an engraving on the back that reads “To M.M. From M.M.” and she intends to pass it on to her daughter someday.

The topic of fatherhood, similar to marriage, has often followed Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana’s younger son for quite some time. In an interview with People magazine back in May 2016, he shared his conflicting feelings about having children, expressing both a desire to have them during certain moments, particularly while on foreign tours, and at other times feeling hesitant, even deterred from the idea of parenthood. He acknowledged that there were instances when he felt reluctant to become a father, but emphasized that there was no immediate need for it.

In 2017, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their engagement and had their initial joint interview. As expected, the subject of potential children was brought up. “Absolutely,” Prince Harry expressed, “One step at a time, and ideally, we’ll begin our family soon.” Meghan smiled approvingly by his side.

Meghan expressed it as if by some enchantment she had become a mother with Archie’s birth. She found it astounding, and with the two finest men by her side, she felt incredibly joyful.

Ever since Archie made his grand entrance in May 2019, I’ve been utterly captivated! I can’t even fathom the incredible strength and grace of all the women out there, but let me tell you, my partner and I are completely overjoyed and deeply grateful for the love and support we’ve received from everyone. The experience has been more incredible than anything I could have ever imagined, so we just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks and share this joyous moment with each one of you!

Harry pondered over the insights he’s gained since becoming a parent while addressing the National Youth Mentoring Summit in 2019. He revealed, “Today, I find myself struck by several things, primarily the influence of unseen role models. You might not realize it, but someone admires you, and through that admiration, you encourage them to become more compassionate, more accomplished, more significant, more impactful. This realization could be a newfound clarity I’ve gained as a father, knowing that my son is constantly observing me, learning from my actions, possibly even aspiring to walk in my footsteps.

During a public appearance in 2020, Prince Harry expressed that our dear one is our utmost concern. After attending to him, our secondary focus becomes our work, which we strive hard to perform effectively in order to contribute positively and help make the world a more peaceful and improved place.

Despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, Harry and Meghan discovered a positive aspect in their lives: spending quality time with their son Archie. As Meghan expressed in October 2020, they are fortunate to be able to witness Archie’s growth during this period when, under normal circumstances, they would have been traveling and working more extensively. This pandemic-induced slowdown has allowed them to cherish precious family moments that might have otherwise slipped away.

Harry mentioned, “Both of us were present during Archie’s initial steps, his very first run, his first stumble, all the milestones.

In May 2021, Meghan made an unusual television appearance during Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World special. During this event, the former actress revealed her pregnancy and expressed her enthusiasm about raising a daughter. She stated, “My spouse and I are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our daughter. This feeling of joy is shared by countless families worldwide.” Reflecting on their unborn child, she emphasized the importance of empowering young women and girls globally to lead us into the future.

She stated, “The course of their future leadership is influenced by the choices and actions we make today, which aim to establish a prosperous, fair, and empathetic tomorrow, not just for them but for all of us as well.

In a fleeting scene, Meghan appears in her husband’s Apple TV+ show titled with Oprah, “The Me You Can’t See“. During this appearance, the Californian seems to honor her expanding family by wearing a shirt that reads, “Nurturing Tomorrow.

On June 4th, their little girl, Lili, was born to the couple. In a post on their Archewell Foundation page, they expressed their joy, saying, “Our hearts are overflowing with blessings as we welcomed our precious daughter into the world on this day. She exceeds all our expectations and we remain deeply grateful for the love and well-wishes we’ve received from around the globe. Thank you for your continued compassion and support during this incredibly memorable time in our family.

On June 8th, 2021, Meghan is set to unveil her debut children’s book titled “The Bench“. This book offers a unique perspective on fatherhood from a mother’s point of view. In a statement released in May, she shared that the story originated from a poem she wrote for her husband on Father’s Day, which was a month after their son Archie was born and this poem evolved into the current narrative.

In a letter dated October 2021, addressed to former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, Meghan expressed her delight yet burdened feelings upon the birth of her child during a time when the pandemic had disrupted normal operations at hospitals, schools, among other places, as she welcomed mandated paid parental leave in the U.S.

She expressed that, similar to many other parents, we were fortunate not to face the tough decision of either staying with our newborn during those crucial initial months or returning to work. Instead, we had the option to bring our baby home, using that precious (and significant) period exclusively for our children and family. This choice allowed us to avoid the daily dilemmas of balancing childcare, employment, and healthcare responsibilities that many families must confront.

Meghan went on to say, “It’s unjust for any family to encounter such difficult choices. No family should be forced to balance earning an income and caring for their child (or relative, or self, which is evident in the need for a broad-spectrum paid leave policy).

Today in April 2022, Harry expressed that blending parenting responsibilities with his work-from-home schedule proved to be quite challenging.

Archie tends to intrude on our Zoom meetings more frequently than anyone else does,” he noted. “Additionally, these interruptions happen quite regularly with him, which is somewhat peculiar but not unwelcome.

I’ve noticed an uncanny resemblance of my witty humor in my boy, a trait I make sure to nurture. I believe it’s this playful spirit that adds zest to one’s life.

Meghan admitted she was concerned for her—and everybody else’s—kids in the age of social media.

During a discussion at the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit on World Mental Health Day in October 2023, she emphasized that being a mother holds the utmost significance in her life, second only to being a wife to Harry, as she affectionately indicated towards him.

As a passionate admirer, let me express, I find myself incredibly grateful that our kids are still young, which means we don’t have to face this imminently. However, the rapid pace of change leaves me with a sense of trepidation. This future is looming, and it’s something we can’t help but confront sooner rather than later.

As a deeply invested enthusiast, I can’t help but echo the sentiment that “each day seems endless, yet years pass swiftly,” especially in my role as a parent. The digital realm and social media have become an integral part of our lives, and it’s undeniable that we all yearn for a secure space within it.

During a visit to Lightway Academy in Abuja, Nigeria in May 2024, Meghan spoke to a group of kindergarteners about her daughter Lili, who is much smaller than them. Lili is almost 3 years old and recently said something very touching: she looked at Meghan and saw her own reflection in her eyes, saying, “Mama, I see me in you.

Meghan explained that while she understood her words were taken quite literally at the time, she held onto them in a unique manner. She thought to herself, ‘Indeed, I recognize aspects of myself in you, and vice versa.’
