Meghan Markle posted a touching tribute to her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, this Mother’s Day. The Duchess of Sussex's Instagram post on May 11, 2025, offered a rare peek into her life as a mother in Montecito, California.
According to People, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are parents to two young children: Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, born on May 6, 2019, who recently turned six, and Princess Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, born on June 4, 2021, who is now three years old.
The couple has largely shielded their children from the public eye since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, but Markle's recent use of social media has provided glimpses into their family life now and then.

In her Mother’s Day post, Meghan Markle shared a photo on Instagram of herself with Archie and Lilibet clinging to her, whimsically describing the moment as climbing "mama mountain."

"Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy! 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."
She concluded with a phrase seemingly coined by her children:
"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.""
