Meghan Markle Picks Flowers With Her ‘Little Loves’ Archie and Lilibet in Sweet Photos
Meghan Markle enjoyed a sunny day outside with her children, giving fans a look at her son, Prince Archie, 5, and 3-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet helping out in her garden in new photos.
“Sunday kind of love … with my little loves,” Meghan, 43, captioned a Sunday, April 27, series of snapshots with the children checking out the huge rose blooms at their Montecito, California, home.
The Duchess of Sussex still prefers to maintain a degree of privacy when it comes to the youngsters she shares with her husband, Prince Harry. Meghan made sure not to directly show their faces.
Lilibet was seen from behind, with her long red hair and pink shirt visible. Archie wore a long-sleeved blue shirt as he was seen from behind exploring a rose bush. He too has red hair like his sister and father, 40, albeit in a darker auburn hue.
Archie held up a huge rosebud at the camera in a third photo, while the flower obscured his face.
The post came one day after Meghan let fans hear Lili’s sweet voice in an Instagram Story while making a batch of jam, revealing the little girl has a distinctly American accent.
“What do we think, Lili?” the As ever founder asked as she put a spoonful of the red spread onto a white bowl. “I think it’s beautiful,” Lili breathlessly replied.
While Archie was born when Harry and Meghan were still working members of the British royal family, Lili came along in June 2021, more than a year after the couple stepped away from their positions to seek an independent life in the United States. Lili is an American-born princess, making her arrival at Santa Barbara, California’s Cottage Hospital in June 2021.
While Archie and Lili have not had a royal upbringing, they were granted access to prince and princess titles once their grandfather, King Charles III, ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022. Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson first let the world know that the children were using the royal titles when confirming Lili’s christening in March 2023.
The children have remained out of the public eye throughout their childhood in Montecito, but have been making more frequent appearances on social media after Meghan launched her As ever brand in February, rebranding her former American Riviera Orchard label.
“Last year, I had thought, ‘American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name,’ it’s my neighborhood. It’s a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area,” she said in an Instagram video. “Then Netflix came on, not just as my partner in the show, but as my partner in my business — which was huge,” referring to her lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.
She continued, “As ever essentially means as it’s always been, and if you’ve followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I’ve always loved cooking and crafting and gardening — this is what I do.”
Meghan launched a line of As ever products including raspberry spread, teas, honey, biscuit mix and other items via an online shop, dropping the products on April 2. They quickly sold out in under an hour.
Archie and Lili have been seen helping Meghan promote her lifestyle brand through photos of them helping out around the kitchen and garden.
