Meghan Markle recently spoke about her bond with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, during her visit to Nigeria.
This close connection was evident in a sweet home video she shared, showing herself tossing her son—then a little baby—up in the air.
The clip aired during the final episode of Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” as they discussed their move from the royal family to Montecito, California.
The heartwarming footage showed a bubbly Archie, now five years old, giggling as his mother played with him.
During their recent tour of Nigeria, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed rare details about their children.
Speaking at a Women in Leadership event co-hosted with Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organization, Meghan, a former actress, expressed her joy about being a mother.
“I love being a mum,” she shared. On balancing motherhood with a career, Meghan reflected on a previous conversation with her mentor Bonnie Hammer. “I remember having the good fortune at the time that [Hammer] invited me to have breakfast, and I thought this was just the biggest deal in the world,” she said.
“And I asked her that exact question. I said, ‘How do you find the balance?’ And she said, ‘You don’t, you’ll never find the balance.’ And this was before I was married, this was before I had children, this is before all the things in my life have certainly had a plot twist.”
She added: “It struck me and it stayed with me for a long time because you say, ‘Well how can you be so successful? And she’s a mother as well and she’s married and says that you’ll never find the balance? What does life feel like if it’s imbalanced?’
“What I think that means now is that balance will always change for you. That balance, what seems balanced ten years ago is going to shift. And so being a mom has always been a dream of mine. And I’m so fortunate that we have two beautiful, healthy, very chatty, sweet children.”
