In honour of Mother’s Day, Meghan Markle shared a rare and heartfelt glimpse into life with her two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Posted on Instagram, the photo captures Meghan gracefully balancing Archie on her left hip, supported by a bent leg, while Lilibet clings affectionately to her right side.

“Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!” she began.

“And to these two gems – who still attempt to climb “mama mountain”, smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure….being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life ❤️.

“I, too, “love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world.”

The sweet Mother’s Day post follows another special moment just days earlier when Meghan celebrated Archie’s sixth birthday with another rare photo.

In the photo, Archie is seen from behind, standing on a balcony and looking at the sunset. The sun lines up with his head, creating a soft glow around him.

“Our son. Our sun,” Meghan wrote alongside the image.

“Happy 6th birthday to Archie!

“Thank you for all of the love, prayers, and warm wishes for our sweet boy. He’s six! Where did the time go?

“(And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special ❤️).”

Although Meghan has recently offered more glimpses of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet remain largely shielded from the public eye, with fans only catching the occasional rare sighting of the young royals.

Even in these rare glimpses, the public has yet to see their faces, a decision that The Sun‘s Royal Editor, Matt Wilkinson, believes stems from Prince Harry’s own difficult experiences with the media during his childhood.

“My understanding of this or up to a certain stage is that Harry would much rather his children were not seen. He doesn’t want them to be papped,” he explained during an appearance on Hello Magazine’s A Right Royal Podcast,

“He’s got this idea that if he takes them outside of Montecito that there’s a horde of us out there trying to take pictures of his kids – they’re not by the way.”

While Harry may want to shield his children from the spotlight, Meghan’s approach is much different with Wilkinson explaining that “she wants her children to have a more kind of California style lifestyle you know take him down the beach, go out, do stuff.”

“She doesn’t want to hide them away and we’ve seen this haven’t we more and more with the use of of Lilibet and Archie,” he added.
