From petting farm animals at
their very famous neighbor’s home to Archie’s favorite party activities,
fruit picking, and even the non-traditionally royal skills that Prince
Harry has developed during their father and son bonding time, we take
a closer look at Duchess Meghan’s insights from her interview
with The Cut.
Archie
loves petting mini pigs
Meghan says that Archie and
their one-year-old daughter Lilibet Diana have enjoyed spending time
there, telling The Cut that “the kids have been over to pet
Jackson’s mini-pigs.”
Interacting with animals is brilliant for childhood development |
Meghan celebrated her 41
birthday at Victoria’s property in August, so Archie must have been delighted
to run around the sprawling ‘petting zoo.’
Archie
loves bouncy castles
Like all toddlers, the
Sussexes’ eldest child loves attending classmate’s birthday parties, and Archie
has had a splendid time diving into bouncy castles – with Meghan
joining him!
Bouncy castles are a classic |
In fact, Meghan confessed
to The Cut that when the family arrived at one of his friend’s
birthday parties recently, “everyone was surprised”. One mother
wasn’t sure if she was allowed to join them inside but Meghan encouraged her to
follow suit.
Archie
loves fruit picking
With the Sussexes now living
in Santa Barbara, which at one point produced 40 percent of all fruit in the
United States, it is no wonder that little Archie has taken to fruit picking.
California offers the ideal climate for growing your own fruit
Archie will gleefully arrive
at his school gates with “a week’s worth of freshly picked fruit for his
fellow classmates.”
The most abundant produce
around the family home in Montecito are citrus fruits, figs, avocados, and
bananas, but the easiest fruits for little hands to pick are prickle-free mulberries.
