Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been known for her creative and festive celebrations, and this St. Patrick’s Day was no exception. The 43-year-old royal shared a glimpse of how she marked the holiday on March 17, alongside Prince Harry and their two young children, 5-year-old son Prince Archie and 3-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet, via her Instagram Stories.
In the series of videos posted by Meghan, she was seen preparing breakfast with a shot of her stirring green batter captioned “About this morning…” The footage continued with her pouring the green batter into a waffle maker, resulting in uniquely themed green waffles shaped into a face using blueberries, kiwi, and whipped cream for the kids’ enjoyment.
What made this St. Patrick’s Day breakfast more special was the connection to the late Queen Elizabeth. Prince Harry had previously shared that his grandmother, who passed away in 2022, had gifted their son Archie a waffle maker when he was just a toddler. This heartfelt gift from the Queen had now found its way into the royal family’s St. Patrick’s Day breakfast tradition.
During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Prince Harry had expressed how his grandmother had asked for Archie’s Christmas gift ideas, and Meghan mentioned a waffle maker. The Queen then sent a waffle maker, which the family now uses to create beautiful and organic mixes for breakfast, much to Archie’s delight.
Apart from the green waffles, the Sussex family’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration also included green drinks for both adults and children. Meghan captioned one of the videos with, “We love a theme,” as they enjoyed their festive beverages. The Instagram Stories shared by Meghan offered a peek into their intimate and joyous family moment on this special day.
This is not the first time Meghan has showcased her creative culinary skills on social media. Back on Valentine’s Day, she had shared a glimpse of a holiday-themed breakfast and their morning routine. The Duchess expressed her love for making breakfast for her family, sharing that fried eggs and bacon are favourites, but sometimes a simple frozen waffle does the trick too.
Meghan identifies food as one of her love languages, drawing inspiration from her own childhood memories of her mother’s cooking. She hopes to create similar lasting memories for her children, known as ‘Mama Meals,’ which they can cherish and recreate in the future with their own families.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to navigate life away from the traditional royal duties, these little moments of shared joy and love within their family offer a glimpse into the genuine and down-to-earth approach they bring to their parenting and home life in California.
In the midst of ongoing public interest and speculation surrounding the royal family, Meghan and Harry’s commitment to creating a warm and nurturing environment for their children shines through in these simple yet heartfelt gestures shared with the world. Their St. Patrick’s Day breakfast serves as a reminder that even amidst royal titles and responsibilities, family traditions and togetherness remain at the heart of their lives.
