Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are embracing their new life as a family of four, as revealed by a close friend of the Duchess of Sussex.
Daniel Martin, a makeup artist and confidant of Meghan, provided a rare insight into the family dynamics of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
According to the insider, Meghan and Prince Harry have seamlessly adapted to parenthood with their two children, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Lily Diana.
Describing their experience, he shared that the couple is thoroughly enjoying their time together as a family of four, having established a harmonious routine.
The journey into parenthood for Meghan and Prince Harry began in May 2019 when they welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison, following their lavish wedding ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
As senior members of the royal family back then, the couple introduced their son to the world through a carefully orchestrated photo call at St George’s Hall within the Queen’s Berkshire Castle.
Archie also accompanied his parents on a memorable tour of South Africa, where he had the opportunity to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Subsequently, the young prince joined Meghan and Harry on an extended break from royal duties in November 2019 and has not returned to the UK since.
In a significant development, Lily made her entrance into the world in June this year, more than a year after Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior royals.
Born at a Santa Barbara hospital, the arrival of the baby girl was announced by the Sussexes through their organization Archewell.
Despite the absence of a public image of their daughter, Meghan and Harry have shared occasional updates about her well-being.
During a visit to New York in September, Meghan responded to a reporter’s query about Lily by simply stating, “she’s beautiful.”
Additionally, Meghan disclosed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November that her daughter’s teething phase had been keeping her up at night, highlighting the challenges of motherhood.
The Sussexes have been actively engaging in public events following the conclusion of their parental leave in late summer.
Notably, since the birth of their daughter, questions have arisen regarding the timing and location of Lilibet’s christening.
Born on June 4, 2021, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is the second child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, following the birth of their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in May 2019.
The couple expressed their immense joy upon welcoming Lilibet Lily Diana Mountbatten-Windsor into the world, paying tribute to both Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana through their daughter’s name selection.
Lily’s birth on June 4 at 11:40 am at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California marked a significant moment for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces, Lily’s name reflects her lineage, honoring her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana.
The couple confirmed that both mother and child are in good health and are adjusting to their new life at home.
As the family of four continues to navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood, the Duke and Duchess express their gratitude for the outpouring of well wishes and support during this special time.
