Meghan Markle dropped by The Drew Barrymore Show to discuss her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan. While on the episode, which airs Thursday, March 6, the Duchess of Sussex participated in a round of Fast Five.
"What's your favorite thing that you see in your kids that you go, ‘Oh, that's their dad' like-?" host Drew Barrymore asked during the segment, to which Meghan replied, "Oh, some of the words that they still say with a British accent, so they'll say z-e-b-r-a and what else do they say? They have these little moments where it comes out and because they have very American accents, but they say words that are just like him and I think it's adorable. Zebra is a good one."
Meghan and Prince Harry's eldest child, Prince Archie, was born in 2019 at London's Portland Hospital. He celebrated his first birthday in California months after the Duke and Duchess stepped back as working members of the royal family. Unlike her big brother, Princess Lilibet was born in the United States, where the Sussexes have been living since 2020. Meghan and Harry welcomed their second child, Lilibet, in 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California.
The Duchess received a sweet surprise from her husband and children on the eve of the premiere of her show, With Love, Meghan. The Duchess recalled to Drew that when she returned to her hotel room the night before "there was this sweet card from my kids and my husband saying, ‘We're so proud of you, mama, and congrats on the show,’ and with flowers and I just thought, ‘Okay, here we go.’ And I felt so loved."
Meghan also revealed that even when she's away from her son and daughter, she still reads to them. The Duchess shared, "I always make it a point when I'm traveling if I can't do bedtime stories with my kids because Archie and Lili are just 3 and 5, so I'll always pack a really thin book and I'll videotape myself reading it so whoever's with them, Papa can say, ‘Here's mama reading your bedtime story.'"
The mom of two continued, "You find ways to show up for each other and if that's the one thing that I can convey through the show or through As Ever as a brand, I want people to know you can show up for each other because you know how good it feels when someone shows up for you."
