Actor, blogger, humanitarian, style icon, royal ― Meghan Markle has had many titles in her life. But perhaps her most relatable role has been that of mother.
Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, welcomed their sonArchie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor on May 6, 2019, and their daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana on June 4, 2021. Over the past two years, the couple has made a small number of public appearances with Archie, which has led to many sweet “mom moments” featuring Markle.
