Inside Look: Meghan Markle's Heartfelt Insights on Parenting Archie and Lilibet
Meghan Markle Spills All the Tea on Raising Her Two Mini-Mes with Prince Harry
Get ready for the ultimate dose of royal gossip, as Meghan Markle opens up about her life as a mother of two in the latest season of "With Love, Meghan"! The Duchess of Sussex has been sharing juicy secrets and adorable moments from her Montecito home, and we've got all the tea.
First off, let's talk about the kids. Our little Archie, who turns six next month, is growing up to be quite the charmer. His mom describes him as "the most tender, sweet child of all time," and it's clear why - he's already mastered the art of complimenting his mom's culinary creations! Meghan reveals that her son is a big fan of her cooking, always exclaiming, "Mama, that's so beautiful!" whenever she whips up something new.
But what about his little sister, Lilibet? Well, it seems like she's got a flair for the dramatic too. The four-year-old is obsessed with all things pink and has been begging her mom to get their family a cat - which would be a major departure from their current canine crew, featuring Pula and Mamma Mia.
In one of the show's most adorable moments, Meghan shares how Lilibet loves to wear her favorite color (spoiler alert: it's pink!) and even asks for "freckles" when she eats chia seeds. We can't get enough of this little princess!
Now, let's talk about food - because what's a royal family without their favorite treats? Meghan reveals that her kids are huge fans of thumbprint cookies and passionfruit (she even shared the recipe with Samin Nosrat in episode four!). And, of course, no meal is complete without a drizzle of maple syrup - a favorite among both Harry and the little ones.
But what about Meghan's parenting style? Well, it seems like she's all about being hands-on. She revealed that she cooks breakfast for her kids most days (fancying up fried eggs and pancakes with ground flax seeds or chia seeds) and even makes surprise "chia seed" treats for Lilibet.
The Duchess also shared some fascinating insights into her children's speech patterns - it seems like they're picking up on both British and American phrases! When asked about their accent, Meghan giggled and said, "They'll use a bit of both... although they say zeb-rah instead of zeeb-rah!"
As the series comes to a close, we get a glimpse into the family's friendships. Meghan shares how her kids are BFFs with Heather Dorak's sons, Noah and Cody (who were also guests on the show). She even whipped up some delicious thumbprint cookies for them - which she later packed in their lunchboxes.
In one of the final episodes, Meghan opens up about the challenges of parenting, particularly when it comes to watching her little ones grow up. José Andrés joins her on this conversation, and they both share how hard it is to let go of that tiny baby phase (Meghan quips, "I'm preparing myself... please don't go!").
As we close out this season of "With Love, Meghan," one thing's for sure: these royals know how to keep it real - and messy. Will they next tackle the topic of parenting in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic? Only time (and Netflix) will tell!
And don't even get us started on the rumors...
It seems like there might be more than a few projects brewing at Archewell Productions, including a documentary marking the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. We can only imagine what kind of behind-the-scenes scoop this doc would reveal...
But for now, let's just bask in the adorable, entertaining goodness that is "With Love, Meghan" - because, as we all know, there's no royal family like the Sussexes when it comes to keeping us entertained!
