“To have a boy and then a girl, you know, what more can you ask for?” Prince Harry said before the birth of his second baby Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on June 4, 2021, a second addition making brother, Archie a proud big bro! Both children have been mostly away from the glaring spotlight, with Harry and Meghan Markle crafting a cozy world for their kids.
During their heartfelt chat with Oprah, the Prince of Wales expressed, “We’ve got our family. We’ve got the four of us and our two dogs, and it’s great.” What’s more, the royal renegade described Lili’s birth as his “precious daughter from that world into this” in his memoir, “Spare.” That’s how the Sussex marriage knew their family was complete.

While the couple could’ve chosen to stay in Buckingham Palace, accepting the hectic royal life, they decided to step down from those pressures and controversially moved to the United States. As a result, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose a different path, raising their children in a different home, surrounded by another culture. They offered a peek into their California life with their 2022 Netflix docuseries, which served more as a platform to share their story than a detailed expose of their parenting.
However, it was just that—a peek. Despite Prince Archie and Prince Lilibet being relatively famous, both parents are steadfast in their resolve to shield their children, maintaining a delicate balance between their public outings and private happiness. They have never been the type to expose their children or make them part of their celebrity status.
“We’ve been really conscious of protecting our kids as best as we can and also understanding the role that they play in this really historic family, Meghan Markle said in the series.”
