Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are raising a very cute prince and princess. And their laudable parenting talents are drawing attention. A family friend of the couple told Us Weekly that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “hands-on” parents to Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, and want them to have a normal childhood. , he gushed.
“They take the kids to school, they pick them up, they’re very active and they’re with the kids all day long,” the source said. I’m lively and happy. ”
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have largely kept their children out of the public eye, largely because Harry has struggled to shore up his family’s security in the UK.

“I think every parent wants to share their child with the world, but they can’t do that,” the source added. “William’s children, for example, are much safer, even if it is recognized. And the same is not true for Meghan and Prince Harry’s children. They are the ones the world wants to meet. I know they’re thinking that, but if that happens, I expect them to live a small life until it’s resolved.”
They went on to talk about Prince Harry’s decision to leave the UK: If that means ensuring they’re safe and happy in Montecito, he’s for it. ”
The royal couple left London in 2020 and moved to the California town after stepping down as senior working royals. The source added that the couple plans to explain their royal heritage to their children “in due course.”

Another source had a similar opinion, saying, “They are focused on raising their two children.” However, the couple continues to work with the Archewell Foundation and launch businesses including Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
It’s clear that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are proud parents. During a trip to Colombia, Meghan lovingly declared that “at the age of three,[Lilibet]found her voice.” A family friend of theirs also said the Suits alum is part of a local mothers’ group and they meet regularly.
Prince Harry had his children on his mind at last month’s WellChild Awards ceremony. “As a parent, I know a thing or two about the emotional roller coaster of raising a child. But when I hear about the care that so many of you moms, dads, and families are providing, I’m amazed at the 24-hour care you provide. The level. The skills you had to learn. And the fight for support that you all fight every day, I’m truly in awe of you,” he said at the ceremony.
