Prince Archie told Meghan Markle “Mama, don’t work too hard,” the Duchess of Sussex has revealed in a major interview.
Archie and his sister Princess Lilibet had been ill and were being looked after by their grandmother Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother, while the Sussexes were away at the Invictus Games, Prince Harry’s tournament for wounded veterans.
After she got back, the 5-year-old made the sweet request after stirring from sleep, Meghan said. “It was the sweetest thing,” she told People.

Why It Matters
Meghan described the moment during an interview promoting her With Love, Meghan Netflix show, due to be released on Tuesday.
Harry and Meghan have kept their children largely out of the limelight out of concern for their privacy, but Meghan has taken the rare decision to share a little more about them when promoting her show and linked lifestyle brand As Ever.
What To Know
The duchess also shed some light on Archie and Lili’s social life with children from school: “We hosted a little camp because winter break was long.”
This included obstacle courses and face painting: “We had several days with different families at our home, and we were able to get to know the parents better, and all the kids could play.”
“It’s a dream,” she continued. “But I also know that being part of a community means you put effort into it.”
Meghan has also been going round to other people’s houses for playdates, and attending group yoga classes of up to 50 people without intrusive attention.
She said the couple’s community in Montecito had been helping them protect their privacy: “Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is.”
What People are Saying
Meghan explained why her new show is not filmed at the couple’s Montecito mansion: “We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments—putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day.
“Our kitchen is where mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house.”
What Happens Next
Meghan releases her new cooking show With Love, Meghan, on Tuesday at 8 a.m. in the U.K, 3 a.m. on the East Coast and midnight in Los Angeles.
