“When your children get to a certain age — when you’re not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again — it’s super joyful,” she told People.

“As a woman, a mum and a wife, to be able to find yourself again — in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn’t put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older — is a wonderful feeling.”

Family remains at the center of Meghan’s world. Alongside Harry, she has cultivated a warm, grounded environment for their children at their Montecito home, where nature walks, story time, and baking are daily rituals. Meghan is also a familiar face at local farmers’ markets and is known for making homemade jams with ingredients grown in their garden.

Last year, Meghan and Harry spent Mother’s Day in the US abroad, visiting Nigeria in May 2024 as part of their charitable work. The trip held personal meaning for Meghan, who shared her thoughts during an emotional speech.

“I am very, very grateful, I am very humbled, and today is Mother’s Day,” she said. “It feels appropriate, but though, of course, we are missing our children, I’m missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family.”
