Meghan Markle dropped a rare mention of her life in the U.K. with Prince Harry and Prince Archie on the latest episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder
On the June 3 episode of her Lemonada Media podcast, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, made a subtle reference to the iconic Windsor Castle photo call where she and Prince Harry first introduced their son to the world in May 2019. Prince Archie, now 6, was born in London during their time as full-time working royals—before the couple stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the U.S. in 2020.
Meghan welcomed Tina Knowles as her guest on the bonus episode for an intimate conversation — and Meghan referenced the memorable moment.
“It seems like we’re all kind of figuring it out along the way and also we evolve as women, and the chapters of being a mother evolve. I mean, Archie turns six tomorrow. He’s going to be six!” the Duchess of Sussex said. “Where did the time go? I remember carrying him out there, and I was just like, he is now six years old.”

“We had his birthday party yesterday,” she continued. “But you look up, and really, I think everything is in constant fluid motion.”
Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan broke with royal tradition when Prince Archie was born on May 6, 2019, skipping the customary hospital step photo. Unlike previous royal parents — including Prince William and Kate Middleton — who posed with their newborns outside the hospital, Harry and Meghan chose to unveil their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in an organized photo call two days later after his birth.

Archie made his public debut at St. George’s Hall in Windsor Castle — the very same location where Prince Harry and Meghan celebrated their wedding luncheon just a year earlier.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their decision to step back from their working royal roles in January 2020 and moved to her home state of California in the U.S., where their daughter, Princess Lilibet, 4 tomorrow, was born in June 2021.
The first picture of Princess Lilibet came months later when Prince Harry and Meghan released a family holiday card in December 2021, with the photo confirming that both Archie and Lili inherited their dad Harry’s red hair.
Meghan’s postpartum photo call with Archie bubbled up on an earlier episode of Confessions of a Female Founder when the Duchess of Sussex welcomed Bumble CEO and Founder Whitney Wolfe Herd to the show.

“I mean, I’ll never forget the image of you after you delivered Archie, and the whole world was waiting for his debut,” Whitney told Meghan. “I was either just becoming or about to become a new mom, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, how is this woman doing this? How is this woman putting on heels and going and debuting a child in this beautiful outfit in front of the entire world?’ ”
