Meghan Markle is celebrating Mother’s Day in the U.K. by revealing a cherished family tradition.
On Sunday, March 30, Meghan shared a photo of a lemon cake via Instagram with the caption, “Our family tradition. Mothering Sunday in the UK 🍋.” A small child’s hand could be seen in the photograph, belonging to either her son Archie, 5, or Lilibet, 3.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has shared more personal and behind-the-scenes glimpses into her life with Prince Harry, 40, and their children as of late. On Monday, March 24, she shared a new photo featuring both children from behind — perhaps one of the most personal photos of her kids she has shared to date. “Every day is a love story 🕊️,” Meghan, 43, captioned the photo.
In the photo, Archie is seen holding onto Meghan’s leg while she carries Lilibet, who is wearing a wide-brim straw hat.
Meghan and Harry married in May 2018 after meeting for the first time in July 2016. “The Duke and Duchess would like to thank everyone who took part in the celebrations of their wedding,” read a statement from Kensington Palace at the time. “They feel so lucky to have been able to share their day with all those gathered in Windsor and those who watched on television across the U.K., Commonwealth and around the world.”
A month later, a source told Us Weekly that the pair were prioritizing having children soon after their wedding. “Having children is definitely a priority,” a source close to the pair said. “She and Harry want to start a family right away — and she’ll start trying as soon as she can.”
A second royal insider dished, “Harry and Meghan won’t rush into anything. They have a lot on their plate right now. But they both think that when the moment feels right, that will be the time to go for it. They’ll make fantastic parents.”
In October 2018, another source told Us that the pair were “trying for a big family” and hoped to have three kids. Kensington Palace confirmed the pair were expecting their first child together in the same month.
“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019,” the statement read. “Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public.”
