Meghan Markle Reveals New Details About Prince Harry Marriage & Their Kids
Meghan Markle is set to return to the screen — but not in Suits LA. With Love, Meghan is slated to be released on March 4. Unlike her past projects, which were more straightforward documentaries, the Duchess of Sussex is opening up about her new life in Montecito like never before.
The Suits alum’s lifestyle series will focus on the pursuits of a quiet life, filled with homemade baked goods, entertaining friends, and all things positive. Centering around Markle, husband Prince Harry will only make a small cameo in the show’s final episode.
Yet, that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t involved. Opening up to PEOPLE, Markle emphasized the importance her family holds in her life. Prior to joining the British royal family, she had her own food, travel, and wellness blog called The Tig. With Love, Meghan is a natural continuation of that. The Tig shut down in 2017. Now, Markle is picking it up again in another form. “Well, I loved The Tig, but I certainly love my husband more,” she said. “So that was a choice I made at the time, and I wouldn’t change that for a second.”
Prince Harry is elated that his wife is returning to something she loved so much. “My husband met me when I had The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” the 43-year-old said.
Others also noticed his support. “Whenever Harry visited set, he was always super polite and friendly,” a crew member told PEOPLE, “but it was clear he wanted this to be Meghan’s moment to shine.”
Although Markle is tackling this project on her own, she still brings the power of their family unit to work. One aspect she is proud to share is their name. She noted that the Sussex title, which was bestowed upon the couple on their wedding day by Queen Elizabeth II, “is part of our love story.” Since welcoming kids, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, the name has gotten an even bigger meaning.
“It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children,” she said. “I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H, and I all have together. It means a lot to me.”
This is especially important to her as Markle is finding her own identity again after becoming a mom.
Markle touched upon the subject by expressing, “When your children get to a certain age — when you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again — it’s super joyful.”
She continued, “As a woman, a mom, and a wife, to be able to find yourself again — in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn’t put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older — is a wonderful feeling.”
Her son, Archie, however, does have one piece of advice as she is going into the next phase of her career: “Mama, don’t work too hard.”
