Duchess of Sussex says ‘where did the time go’ as Archie turns six and
Lilibet four
Meghan Markle is reflecting on precious family milestones as Archie and
Lilibet celebrate their latest birthdays.
During the June 3 episode of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, the
Duchess of Sussex shared memories of her first moments as a mother, recalling
when she and Harry introduced Archie to the world.
“Archie turns six tomorrow,” Meghan told guest Tina Knowles. “Where did the
time go? I remember carrying him out there, and I was just like, he is now six
years old.”
Her comment referred to the couple’s 2019 photo call at Windsor Castle’s St.
George’s Hall, where they introduced Archie two days after his birth — a
decision that broke with the royal tradition of a hospital photo appearance.
“We had his birthday party yesterday,” Meghan added, suggesting the episode
was recorded the day before Archie’s 6 May birthday. “But you look up, and
really, I think everything is in constant fluid motion.”
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California,
Harry and Meghan have also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, who
turned four on 4 June.
To mark her daughter’s birthday, Meghan shared several new photos, including a
tender image of Harry cradling baby Lilibet.
