Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have always cherished their role as parents. From the moment their firstborn, Archie, came into the world, their lives were filled with love and joy. However, they have also faced heartbreak, with Meghan experiencing a devastating miscarriage four years ago.
As royal enthusiasts, we have watched Archie and Lilibet grow up before our eyes. While they were not able to join their parents on their recent visit to Nigeria, there may be opportunities for them to travel together in the future. Like any parent, Harry and Meghan miss their children dearly when they are apart. But it seems that Meghan is not only sad about being away from her children, but also about the fact that they are no longer babies.
On March 31, 2020, Harry and Meghan made the decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the Royal Family, shocking fans around the world. They opened up about the challenges Meghan faced in adjusting to royal life, shedding light on the difficulties she encountered.
The Birth of Prince Archie
Archie was born on May 6, 2019, at The Portland Hospital in London. However, his birth was not without controversy. During Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan revealed that conversations had taken place within the palace about Archie’s skin color before he was born.
Despite the challenges, Harry and Meghan were determined to protect their newborn son. They opted for a more private approach, tricking reporters and photographers to maintain their privacy.
Meghan’s Miscarriage and the Scars that Remain
In 2020, Meghan tragically suffered a miscarriage. In a personal article, she shared the heart-wrenching experience and the immense grief that comes with losing a child. Four years later, the scars still remain, and the anniversary of her miscarriage brings a wave of sadness.
However, Meghan finds solace in her family. She feels blessed to have Archie and Lilibet, and she cherishes every moment with them as they grow up.
Lilibet’s Birth and a Controversial Name
Harry and Meghan welcomed their daughter, Lilibet, on June 6, 2021. They named her after Queen Elizabeth II, who was affectionately called Lilibet as a child. While it was meant as a tribute, some perceived it as disrespectful to the late queen.
Amidst the controversy, Meghan remains focused on her children. She wants to show them that a mother’s work is important while prioritizing their family life.
Looking Towards the Future
Harry and Meghan have embarked on new ventures since stepping back from their royal duties. They recently visited Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games, receiving a warm reception. As they plan their future, they are mindful of their children growing up quickly. Meghan, particularly, feels a sense of sadness as she realizes that her babies are no longer babies.
While the future remains uncertain, one can’t help but wonder if Archie and Lilibet will choose to be part of the Royal Family as they grow older. Only time will tell.
