Meghan Markle, sitting down for the first episode of her shiny new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, spilling sweet little stories about her kids. She’s chatting with her good friend Whitney Wolfe Herd, the brains behind Bumble, and the conversation turns to family life in their Montecito haven.
Meghan can’t help but gush about 5-year-old Archie. She tells this adorable tale about Whitney showing up at their place in a dazzling cowboy outfit for New Year’s Eve, ready to hit a party. Archie was totally starstruck. Even now, he’s still asking, “Mom, when do the cowboys come back?” It’s the kind of story that makes you smile—pure kid magic.
Then there’s 3-year-old Lilibet. Meghan lets slip that her little girl’s still in nap mode and only does half days at preschool. It’s a rare peek into their world, the kind of everyday detail fans don’t usually get from the Duchess of Sussex.
But here’s the catch: while Meghan’s sharing these gems to hype her podcast and her lifestyle brand As Ever, Prince Harry’s apparently not feeling it. Word on the street—or at least from royal watcher Matt Wilkinson on A Right Royal Podcast—is that Harry’s “not too happy” about Archie and Lilibet popping up in her public projects. He’s all about keeping their lives private, locked away from the spotlight. Meghan, though? She’s cool with letting the world in, just a little.
“She doesn’t want to hide them,” Wilkinson said, summing up the tension. It’s like Meghan and Harry are on different pages—one’s an open book, the other’s slamming it shut. As Meghan keeps building her brand, those family tidbits might just keep slipping out, whether Harry likes it or not.
