Mornings in the Sussex household are anything but slow-paced, as Meghan Markle has devised a clever way to get everyone up and moving, including Prince Harry.
In her latest Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which premiered on March 4, Meghan Markle offered a rare glimpse into her family’s daily routine. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared that she takes great pride in preparing breakfast each morning for her husband and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, before the morning rush begins.
“I wake up every morning and take a lot of pride in making breakfast for my family…mornings are fast. Gotta get the kids to school,” Meghan Markle explained.
The second episode of her lifestyle show showcases Meghan Markle cooking a hearty breakfast while chatting with actress and writer Mindy Kaling. During their conversation, she revealed her unique way of luring Prince Harry out of bed—by letting the enticing smell of sizzling bacon fill the house. “My bacon brings all the boys to the yard,” she joked, referencing the popular song by Kelis.
While discussing breakfast habits, Meghan Markle playfully shared a personal detail about her husband’s eating preferences. “Harry likes it salty and puts salt on everything,” she admitted, laughing at his habit of seasoning food before even tasting it.
Later in the episode, Meghan Markle and Kaling bonded over the joys and challenges of motherhood. They prepared a kid-friendly snack together before enjoying a charming backyard tea party, highlighting the importance of family moments.
In an interview with People magazine, Meghan Markle provided even more insight into her morning routine. She revealed that she typically wakes up at 6:30 a.m., before the kids, to prepare breakfast and surprise them with fun-shaped pancakes. However, she also acknowledged that some days call for a simpler approach. “And there’s no shame in that either,” she added, referring to mornings when she opts for frozen waffles instead.
Meghan Markle’s revelations about her family life continue to fascinate fans, offering a rare, intimate look into how she and Prince Harry manage their busy household.
