PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle largely keep their children out of the spotlight, but the Duchess of Sussex has shared the new phase daughter Lilibet, three, has entered.
She revealed to chef and friend Adrian Lipscombe that the tot is currently in her “princess phase”.
This reveal comes as Meghan, 43, announced her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which is set to be available to stream on January 15.
The lifestyle show, of which the first trailer has already been released, is set to show Meghan cooking up a storm over the course of eight 33 minute episodes featuring a host of Meg’s various Hollywood friends trying her simple, yet “elevated”, food.
Fellow Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, who played Dana Scott on the hit show, made an appearance in the trailer.
Producer, actress and comedian Mindy Kaling could even be seen saying this was “one of the most glamorous moments” of her life.
A montage of various clips in the nearly two minute video showed Meghan walking through vegetable patches and fields.
She was also filmed browsing through florists hand selecting beautiful flowers for table arrangements, showing off her creative side.
The Duchess even tried her hand at beekeeping, fully suited up, as she collected honey.
In the exciting new trailer, Meghan shared: “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.
“Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.
“I’m going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there. And how you incorporate these practices every day.

I love that we’re doing this together for the first time. Making new friends.. and just learning.
“We’re not in the pursuit of perfection. We’re in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right.”
Despite the heart-warming trailer not everyone was totally on board with Meghan’s new venture, as publication Eater shared an article titled ‘I’m Already Bored by Meghan Markle’s New Netflix Cooking Series’ that criticised Meghan’s career move.
Reacting to the story, chef and pal Adrian Lipscombe shared an Instagram post defending the Duchess.
Alongside a picture of the story, Adrian wrote: “How are you going to criticise someone or judge a TV show before it has even aired?’
The chef went on to praise Meghan and Prince Harry as “some of the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met” and that he bonded with Meghan over both of their daughters being in a “princess phase”.
“We talked about our families (mostly about our daughters being in their princess phase and the movies they love) and, of course, about food.
“She didn’t rush the conversation, even though I was taking up her time. She was gracious, engaged, and kind,’ Adrian added.
Who is Princess Lilibet?
Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, born on June 4, 2021, is the second child of Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
She was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California and shares the limelight with her older brother, Prince Archie.
Lilibet’s first name is a family nickname that stems from what her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was called as a child.
The former Queen was later affectionately named Lilibet by her husband, Prince Phillip, Princess Lilibet’s great-grandfather.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also made a tribute to Lilibet’s late grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales, through her middle name.
Before King Charles’ coronation in 2023, Princess Lilibet did not hold the title of princess but was instead addressed as Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
The young royal is currently seventh in the line of succession to the throne.
