The recent photo update of Archie and Lilibet came after Meghan delighted royal fans by sharing a video of the young princess making jam with her.
In the video posted to her Instagram stories, Meghan was seen preparing a fresh batch of homemade strawberry jam as she poured vibrant berries into a blue pot on the stove.
While the jam simmered, Meghan asked, “What do we think, Lili?” prompting the toddler to sweetly respond, “I think it’s beautiful,” with her charming Californian accent.
Though Lilibet’s face remained hidden in the footage, the three-year-old could be spotted happily tasting a spoonful of the jam.

The video of Lilibet came after Meghan shared a cozy snapshot labeled “Cozy family weekends,” featuring a charming arrangement of carrots, oranges, and pink blooms.
She also posted a brief clip of herself and five-year-old Archie feeding Koi fish earlier. In the background, Archie’s joyful American accent could be heard as he called out, “Mummy, watch this!”
Since restarting her Instagram on New Year’s Day, Meghan has been giving followers a more intimate glimpse into her family life in Montecito, California, sharing moments with Archie and Lilibet.
In February, she charmed fans with a festive Valentine’s Day post, showing herself and her two little ones baking special-themed bagels.
Ahead of launching her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” last month, the proud mom shared a sweet clip of her, Lilibet, and close friend Serena Williams, lovingly called “Auntie Serena,” playing Candy Land together.

Some royal commentators have suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan may not always agree on how much of their children’s lives to share with the public.
On a recent episode of Hello! Magazine’s Right Royal podcast, royal editor Emily Nash, and The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson discussed their different approaches.
Wilkinson shared that Harry “would much rather his children were not seen,” while Meghan, raised in California, seems more at ease with a laid-back, open style of parenting.
“She once said she would like to have a more California-style lifestyle, take them down the beach, go out, do stuff. She doesn’t want to hide them away,” Wilkinson added.

Discussing the future, Wilkinson added that Harry still views media exposure through the lens of his childhood experiences.
He explained: “Harry’s living in [like things are] the way they were when he was a child […] the media landscape has shifted.”
Despite Meghan’s more relaxed attitude, the couple remains cautious, typically avoiding clear shots of their children’s faces in posts.
During a conversation at the Time100 Summit in New York with Time CEO Jessica Sibley, Meghan finally revealed why her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” wasn’t filmed in her home but at a charming farmhouse near her Montecito residence, owned by her neighbors, Tom and Sherrie Cipolla.
The mom of two explained that having a large production crew in her actual home wouldn’t align with the peaceful environment she wants for her children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
“When people say, ‘Why didn’t you [film in] your house?’ Well, I have kids coming home for their nap, and 80 people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I’d want for them to have,” she said.
Meghan noted that setting these boundaries is “how I take care of myself.”
