Ever since she came back to Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex has been so active, especially on her Stories. She regularly posts sweet family stuff on her Stories, cute little videos of her kids or “weekend vibes” content where she’s enjoying a glass of wine in her garden. This weekend, she posted Stories with her kids. First, Archie (I think it was Archie) looking at their amazing koi pond:

That is their koi pond, right? I think so – in Spare, Prince Harry wrote about when they bought their home, their real estate agent warned them that the property came with a pond and stressed-out koi, so they had to hire a koi specialist to come in and help take care of the fish. It looks like the koi are thriving nowadays! Well, after checking on the fish, Meghan made some strawberry jam and she had Lilibet test it out!
A peek into Harry and Meghan's happy home life with their little ones🥰💝
“Mama watch this! Come smell it.” — Archie
“What do you think Lili?” — Meghan
“I think it’s beautiful” — Lili

While it’s cute that Lili was taste-testing, I’m more interested in the jam! Seriously, Meghan has a hit product with her jam/preserves/spread and the next time she puts any kind of jam on sale, I’m buying as many jars as I can. The raspberry spread was SO GOOD. I need to taste the strawberry spread, and I also need Meghan to do some collab with a major manufacturer so more people can get Meghan’s jam!!
Anyway, the usual suspects are already crying and screaming “what about privacy?!?!” because Meghan included her children’s voices on her IG Stories. Yeah… she’s wanted to do this the whole time. She’s wanted to give her fans and supporters glimpses of her life and family for so long, and I’m really happy that she’s in a place where she feels comfortable enough to do just that. The real controversy is that Archie and Lili’s British grandfather doesn’t give a sh-t about them and refuses to even guarantee their safety for a visit.
Oh, and then later on Sunday, Meghan posted this IG with her two little redheads! So cute.

“Privacy” where invasion of their privacy can be sold by the rats and a million words printed.
Nah, this is what peaceful under a tree looks like – so calm, so serene, far from the drama of the rabid rats.
Now I’m curious about stressed koi. How did they appear stressed to Harry?
Stressed koi have abnormal swimming patterns, changes in color, behavioral changes like hiding and loss of appetite. Like all fish their environment and water quality are important for their health.
Thanks for explaining. I had a friend who kept koi and the only thing I know about them is to look at the back/spine for their patterns as they would indicate which ones are highly prized.
It said the realtor warned Harry about the Koi being stressed. Possibly because the property had been on the market for quite some time, the pond was probably not being maintained, hence the stressed out Koi.
Looks like they have recovered and are very happy.
What an amazing, peaceful environment to live in! Love it for them!
Eat your own eyeballs trolls, derangers and rota rats!!!
Everyone knows the lies about ‘privacy v. Who falls for their crap? Like who is so dumb? It’s fucking hilarious. They’re so stupid I love then screaming about it
So love how Meghan is enjoying her life and family and feels confident enough to show snippets of her children’s healthy good quality life
It brought such a smile to my face hearing their little voices. I like many who comment and share here on Celebitchy are so protective of Harry, Meg and their babies, so seeing’ them thriving, happy and at peace is so heartwarming.
I just knew the British media and the derangers would stroke out over those sweet videos. Well, seeth you hateful racists. SEETH.
Well said, I couldn’t agree more.
omg Lili’s sweet little voice
Wow that’s a lot of koi lol. Love the little snippets of her life with her children she puts on her account. Their faces are not seen so their privacy is intact. It’s not like she is allowing paparazzi into her yard to take pictures. I guess only the lazies are allowed to show their children with no questions asked about their privacy.
This. Every time the BM tries to mock the Sussexes about “privacy” they act like Meghan was complaining about ever being glimpsed in public, as opposed to the fact that they were putting up cameras to film inside of her house in Toronto, harassing her at the front door to the point she had to rehome her dog, siccing helicopters and boats on her, stealing and leaking her personal correspondence with her father… That is a very different thing from Meghan personally selecting a few photos and film clips that do not show her kids’ faces, and anyone who isn’t a complete clod should understand that.
I teared up hearing Lili.
I also loved the stratigically placed rose.
We see/hear them but their privacy is still protected and I love that.
Yes, I loved that picture with Archie and the rose. A very cool photo. What adorable ginger cuties.
Absolutely the sweetest little ones.. you were not the only one tearing up. 🥹
The privacy argument is just these people being upset that they’re not the ones that get to set the pace and tone for what is shared.
From the little snippets that we get its always nice to see how excited and happy the kids seem to be about just daily life and the things that they’re doing with their parents.
I never believed that Harry and Meghan didn’t want to show their kids at all, but when you have people flying drones over your property to see your children I can see how you would say you know what you guys don’t get to see anything. So I’m glad they’re at a point where the feel like they can do this without it getting out of hand.
Love that she is able to share her family life , but completely under her own control .
Bet she is loving it .
Taking his family from the UK was the best decision Harry has made. Just imagine how different and difficult it would have been for them if Harry and Meghan had remained working royals. I’m just happy that they have peace and freedom.
So happy to see that Ms. Peaceful under a Tree feels so safe and relaxed and joyful now that she has progressed to being peaceful in her own backyard, kids included.
Not only that — but that Meghan feels so at ease that she’s able and willing to share glimpses of their lives.
Can’t believe Archie and Lili will be six and four years old so soon.
The fish are get fed, Archie said “Mama he almost got it.”
May her and her family maintain their peace always.
It totally cracks me up that both kids are redheads. After all the kerfuffle about what colour will they be and how will that look? Harry got the last laugh
I know!!!
Those kids are Spencer’s and its nice to see it.
I wish people would stop saying they’re Spencers genes only.
Both parent have to carry the recessive gene, for the children to express the trait.
Where did Meghan get her freckles from? Toxic Tom’ s father was a red head, and he might have been a red head when he was younger, toxic Jr. is still a redhead.
Agree with Jan. Also Meghan famously has freckles and they are a strong indicator that someone carries the recessive gene for red hair.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with attributing the ginger kids to Spencer genes only, and I don’t see why it should be frustrating that some people attribute the nice things to people that love both Harry and Meghan and their kids. Of course, everyone is free to say or attribute the genes to whomever they want, by all means no one is wishing people would stop dredging up the horrendous Markels every time ginger hair of the Sussex kids is mentioned.
Lol, so I don’t love when people say Harry’s genes won bc I’m like genetics people! If Harry hadn’t married a person with the red hair gene, we never would have seen that Spencer side. So we got Harry and Meghan together to thank for that Spencer red hair we’re seeing. It’s cute as can be and a nice reminder of Diana Spencer. Those kids get to spend real time with their amazing grandma Doria, which is a gift, and also see echoes of their other grandma Diana in their hair. It’s a v sweet thing.
I love that people say the “Spencer Gene” as it probably drives the Houses of Park-Bowles, Windsor and Middleton up the wall! All that nonsense about skin colour has shown how sheltered the bliddy lot of them are from the real world where there are an abundance of mixed marriages.
Whenever I see those kids and their flaming red hair, I just picture that Meme of Diana looking down and saying “Tell Charles it was me!” 😆 😆 😆
@lawrenceville,
Yes there is something wrong with attributing the red hair to only the Spencer family, as the red hair REQUIRES a red hair gene from BOTH parents. If the Markle side didn’t have the genetic requirement then there would be no red hair. Period. It takes two people to make red hair.
I feel like Diana may have had a hand in it. When you love your partner so so much, seeing them in your child brings you such joy. I think she wanted that for Meghan.
And she also had an incredible sense of humor. Those Spencer genes. My goodness! 😂
I wondered how much the British media would freak out about the beautiful kids.. Of course they did
These “privacy” lunatics kill me. One minute it’s “Where are the children?” Now it’s “How dare Meghan show the children, I thought she wanted PrIvACy?”
😂 cos they can’t sell her photos since she posts them so freely.
These are the people who hacked that poor dead girl’s phone, but now they’re screaming about privacy. The chutzpah!
Their red hair is so pretty.
Lili is such a carrot head it’s just insane. And Archie’s burgundy hair is so pretty its equally insane. Those babes are so incredibly pretty my goodness!! Where are all the royals that were so worried about how these Harry’s black kids would look on that horrendous balcony?? I’m so glad Harry removed his family from that insane place, none of those hideous royals and their minions deserve him and his little family.
So cute and sweet! I love that this family finally has the life they want.
I wonder at what point she will show their faces? Maybe when they are teenagers?
When they become legal adults, as far as I know, the paps have the freedom to get and publish their photos. The current protective legislation is about minors of the famous people.
I saw one vid over the weekend, Archie looked about 3. It was a 3/4 profile, and he was handing Meg a bunch of flowers (which she put by her MacBook) and asked him for a kiss. I swear, that child looked exactly like Harry at that age!
Such sweet voices… and that gorgeous red hair!!
So I don’t think she will show their current faces until they’re 18, if then (at that point it may just be about what they want to share.)
But I think what we may see is what we saw in the docuseries – pictures or videos of them that are from a few years ago so that people aren’t seeing what they currently look like, and that only works until they stop changing so drastically. For example my 12 year old looks a lot like he looked at 9-10, but very different from when he was 3-5. So I can see meghan showing a TBT pic of Lili at 2 years or something when she’s 7 or 8. And even then i think it will be very rare.
Maybe when Charles dies, if they all go to the funeral, or something like that, e.g. William’s coronation, we might catch a glimpse of the kids? Depends on how long away that is, I suppose. And what transpires between. It’s not impossible William & Harry will reconcile. That would be a happy ending for a new beginning. One always can hope!
Personally, I hope the Sussexes stay far away from Charles’ funeral. Is it possible that William or the British government could force Harry to stay in England? Meghan and the children are American citizens, but could Harry be forcibly separated from them by the wicked machinations of The Other Brother?
Pinkorchid: you really think they would go together to Charles funeral or Williams coronation??? Under the same circumstances as now?
I don’t see this. It would be hell of abuse, definetely nothing for the children. If I was Harry I wouldn’t even go to Charles funeral.
@Blubb No, not under the same circumstances as now. There would have to be a true reconciliation first. It’s not impossible, but I won’t hold my breath.
I think it will be at an Invictus Games. I can remember either Harry or Meghan saying something along the lines that they would love to bring them to meet with other families but, they were too young at the time. So maybe when they’re in their early teens but, even then the press attention would be off the scale.
@Laura D good call. I also can see Harry (and Meghan, too, for that matter) wanting the children to start taking on some kind of charitable/service work by the time they are, say, twelve. As royal children for one, whose parents are deeply committed to social justice and giving back, two.
UK tabloids will also more than likely meltdown over their accents or should I say lack thereof “Britishness”.
You missed it, they already did. There’s a guy moaning about how now the kids speak with an American accent instead of a British accent. I think is was that guy Arthur the old photographer.
Just precious. I love her and her lovely little family!!!
After all the left-behinds put them through, the Sussexes certainly deserve this glorious and free life.
Both Harry and Meghan have said the little ones have British accents but they sound much more American to me.
What Meghan said is that her children say some words with a Brit accent.
Yep that’s what she said. They obviously say some words with their father’s accents. Archi was Happy new year as opposed to saying it the American way which is happy nu year.
Meghan has said that her children had “very American accents” but pronounced certain words the British way after Harry. The example she gave was the word zebra, which the children pronounced like Harry (zebra) rather than the American way (zeebra). I think this conversation was on Drew Barrymore’s show. The way the children’s accents are evolving makes perfect sense to me. They live in California and go to American schools and have American playmates. They speak to adult Americans everyday. Of course their accents are going to be American, and of course they will pick up pronunciations from both parents at the same time. I imagine that engaging the children in conversation a lot is part of Harry and Megha’s parenting.
Meghan deserves all the mother’s day flowers for helping Harry to escape the cult of Windsor and to have this kind of idyllic private life. What a lovely little family and home they have together AND their kids aren’t being sold out to the paparazzi/rota regularly to cover the Wails and Camilla’s latest gaffes. Willy has had a bunch of major public snafus lately. The rota has to find something to pick at the Sussexes over rather than call out the Wails on their bs. It has to rile Willy, who is convinced of his superiority because of an accident of birth order, that he has to feed the rota content involving his kids or risk them turning on him and Harry’s kids will never have to experience that type of public exposure.
Meghan, How wonderful to share those rare moments with your beautiful children (& Koi fish ). I loved the photos. You are super talented, kind, smart & beautiful. It’s hard for some people to take it all in. lol. You are a complete success. Continue to realize your dreams. Rock on sister. Signed, a 75 year old American fan in Carmel NY. You’ve already won! Thank you.
I still can’t believe they got two ginger babies 😭😭 I love that she can share these moments with us without asking for any grey man’s approval. It is her freedom the british media is hating on.
What I love about the ginger talk is that Diana said Charles groaned when he realized Harry was a ginger, because apparently, it’s grounds for being teased and viewed as an oddity. We have turned it into a beautiful thing, and this probably gets the Derangers more upset.
